Writer's Block: A Battle
Two opponents on a battlefield.
On one side, the tired author,
a sharpened quill in his hand
and deadly computer keys in the other.
On the other side, the blank piece of paper
stands tall,
rejoicing in its power over the meek
author.
En garde!
The quill flashes in the sun
(bright, shiny, deadly)
and the writer advances!
Fwish, fwish, shing!
The paper rolls around and springs back
up, mocking the poor man with
his shiny blankness.
Fight, you heathen!
The writer roars and slashes out
Contact!
black ink splatters across the paper,
spreading quickly and marring the page.
The paper snarls and wraps itself
around the man's arm
