Prompt: April 18—good news or bad news, maybe in letter form

Dear Writer's Block

Dear Writer's Block,

I have both
bad news
and good news.

The bad news
the wall
you're trying to construct
between my muse
and I
is falling down
like London Bridge;
it's crumbling into dust
like the Berlin Wall.

The good news concerns
the stress
and depression
that you've put me through
today.

I want to thank you
for the doubts
you kept whispering
to me;
because the forced me
to take a break,
poured myself
a mug of cold water
and said the
Short Obligatory prayer.

Now I can write
this poem without
interference
from your vain imaginings.

Writer's Block,
I just realized that
that the good news
and the bad news
are both bad for you
while being good
for me.

Always Overcoming,
Snow
