Writer's Triangle

This is a poem I wrote about not being able to write.  To me it’s not writer’s block it’s more like a triangle and you’re going in a steady line for a while and just get stuck at points.  There’s a lot of references in this I hope you as a reader catch them.

Writer’s Triangle

Words they fall like syrup

Dripping from a waffle

Thoughts like a bird akin to vertical take-off landing

Right angles, not Kurt Angle

Stuck at points on a triangle

I had momentum till that point

So many thoughts need

Pouring out like sprinkles on a child’s ice cream cone

However my sprinkled words

Took flight like a flightless bird

Damn you penguin

Isosceles does not belong in a

Writer’s triangle lost my place

In Bermuda shorts

My thoughts locked up in quartz

Bejewelled and blitzed

Stuck in a paddleboat

Listening to the band Styx

Stuck on points of a triangle

Not a block or a hectagon

No my thoughts

Like a weird

Fractured fabled polygon

More weird angles and tangents

Than an early Laura Croft drawing

As strange as a Rainbow Brite hoodie

This triangle left me feeling not goody

Caffeine riddled brain

Losing my thoughts

Dang it’s a pain

Up one side

Sliding down another

You write anything

Hoping to find a buffet of more

Selling this Writer’s Triangle

Like a mid-card wrestler

Needing a great angle

Why is my brain at a stump

This cartoon commercial

Came with a video bump

I need an idea dump

To get out of this slump

I need more thoughts

Hey look a robot

Polar bear dogs

Don’t belong in my story

But a damsel not in distress

Hey nice dress

Now that might start some writing glory

Hey buddy can you get me off

This redundant triangle

Because I’m writing nothing

Just to be able to write something
