How to Shatter Bloggers Block: A Poem

Written by, Andy Lee


All day long I've wondered....
"What should I write?"
The blinking cursor on my computer screen
Has mocked me with delight.


I've searched the caverns of my brain
Looking for the perfect story
Crawled through cobwebbed memories
Only to decide they were all boring.

Don't I have something wonderful to tell?
Something that will change a life?
Isn't that the purpose of this job?
Is that holding me back or my pride?

But then I remembered that nothing is easy
Nothing that matters deeply in life.
And yet I often take myself too seriously
I must find balance between grace and strife.

That's when the fear that chained my hands
From tapping on the keys,
Was shattered like shards of glass
And my brain was suddenly freed.

My fingers began to type the first
Sentence of this benign poem
And joy was restored to my heart
As a new blog post was born.

Yes, we write to make a difference
We write to tell a story
But writing has many purposes
Otherwise, it would be boring.

So, the lesson learned my writing friends
When writer's block dumbfounds
Just simply begin typing your first thoughts
And words will abound.

For just the right purposes
Whether laughter, learning or tears.
Trust the One whose called you to this.
He will be faithful all your years.




With Joy,
