A Poet's Winter

by RustySoul   May 31, 2018


When winter prevails a poet's mind,
The words like leaves wither and fall,
Lacking the usual profundity
But words are words after all.

Swept away by winds of criticism,
Insignificant they become thus;
When inspiration or the muse is lost
The work's forgotten without a fuss.

Seasons are really never static
Certainly, Spring will follow behind,
Bringing back the rousing passions
To ignite the poet's mind.

    I love how Mohammed describes writer's block as seasonal. I'm sure everyone reading this can relate to the frustration they feel as a writer when the "leaves wilt," but he leaves us with a day of hope with the reminder that sprung is right around the corner
