Its on the tip of my toungue
They're right in the front of my mind
Everything that I wanted to
So why are they so hard to find?
These words that haunt my thoughts
Plotting their ambush on my heart
As they sit behind my lips
I still wonder how to start
&Putting these word together
Become an enigma in itself
Just one more unfinished thought
To grace my book upon a shelf.

  • This is so relatable to all us writers!

    It was concise; flowed fantastically; and overall, just one damn good write!

    One minor thing:
    Fourth last line;
    'word' should be 'words' I think.

    Excellent. 5/5

    I could feel with you and that's what I liked about this poem. We all suffer writes block, you'll notice many people will be struggling to write but PnQ is the best place for inspiration. My poetry club generally post challenges to break writers block every now and then simply because we all understand what it's like to struggle.

    The only things I can really comment on to try and help you with your writing is the capitalizing of each letter of each line, it's not really needed but each to their own. Also '&Putting' I'd remove the & and write 'and' and put the space in between them, but that's just me.

    I love the word enigma, I don't often find it used in poetry and yet you did an excellent job incorporating it into the poem. Welcome to PnQ I hope you grow to love it as much as we all do.

    One of the most frustrating things for a poet/writer is to have words on the tip of your tongue and unable to pen them in a way you feel is expressive. I think we can all relate really well to this.

    I like that you kept this all in one stanza instead of breaking it up to split the rhymes right. I didn't even notice it really rhymed until I went back through the third time reading while commenting lol. It has a nice, even flow and tone to it. :) Well done!

    I really like the brevity here! You portray that uncertainty here so well, and I love how you ended with the last line- it made me think you have an unfinished story being in the process of being written....and that it's just waiting

    Definitely know this feeling- keep writing :)
