Death of a writer A writer’s death Blank is my mind with a pen in my hand. Words I can’t find to, on my feet, land. Disappeared, ideas have, empty, the page lies. My brain divided in halve lying under a disguise. Escaping from the world, a void, deep inside. On the couch, curled as if with shackles, tied. Darkness inside out, no words spill forth. An emptiness throughout, writer dead henceforth. Frankly, the poem reflects how it was written, I couldn’t think of anything to write about. Since a co-writer on WDC pointed out that most of my poems have sky, sun etc in them, I tend to notice it too. And it’s difficult to write something without the nature in there but throughout this course I have tried to stretch myself and keep it out of my poems. I am glad that the fellow writer pointed this out but then it’s also frustrating at times, knowing I have been so dependent on nature. So when I sat to write a poem, whatever I thought of, nature was coming in- either the sun or the sky or the stars. Finally I decided to flout the rules of grammar which you had warned not to do. But I am sorry, I have done it this time around and I don’t know if the poem even makes sense. As always I am really bad at rhymes and they always seem forced making the poem have obstructed flow. The poem is a Quatrain. The rhyme scheme is abab. Alliteration in my/mind, couch/curled. The syllables are not uniform – 4/6/4/5, 7/5/7/6, 6/5/4/6, 5/4/6/5 (knowing me, I may not be correct with syllable counting).
