Tips for Writer's block:

Writers block...
Read what other people offer!
It never hurts to try something new.
Test your skills.
Excite your mind.
Relate to feelings.
Soar to new heights!!!!

and if that doesn't help,

Beat it out of your brain.
Look into what you thought you could never do.
Open up to what was denied.
Create new thoughts.
Kill writers block with a creative poem!!!

you may add in extra sentences as i did.

have fun, and good luck!! this contest ends in exactly one week. =)

What to write? What to write?
Really stuck. Been up all night.
I can't think. I just don't know,
This pen says write, my mind says no.
Each time I write, it just seems wrong,
Rewrite, Rewrite. I'll go down strong.
See, this I hate, my words are stuck

But no solution, just my luck.
Look around, some inspiration
Ongoing to some wordy creation.
'Cause inspiration is all you need
Know what to write, and you'll succeed!

With pen in hand, I sit alone
Regressing thoughts in monotone
Inside my mind sweet letters flow
Though not together do they go
Enter heart, the soul has died
Relenting tears, no place to hide
Such stress released but not by ink

Beneath a mind that's on the blink
Low shudders of a boggled mind
Opaque in hue and tossed by time
Clear now inside, a heart that waits
Kept hidden from the pen and page.

Words can't seem to come out just
Right, my rhythm
Is far off from what it needs
To be. My eager
Eyes scan the blank page,
Restlessly I
Shift in my chair, can't sit still.

Blank paper, blank mind;
Laughter drenched in anger comes
Out of my pursed lips, the pen
Clicking repetitively under my thumb, mind gone
Kaput, all focus is lost.

Wow!!!! three days and five poems. pretty good, I've read through them and you guys rock my socks!!!!

keep writing people, four days left!

(I might have to extend the contest however, I'll be out of town for a while and dont know if I'll have computer access.)

Wondering, waiting, anticipating
Reaching out but grabbing air
Intense concentration, such aggravation
Trying to touch what's not there
Endless frustration, no revelation
Roping in thoughts I can't use
Stuck in the mud, Words won't flood

Battling a battle I know I will lose
Lack of inspiration, complete desperation
Oh, please let me finish this rhyme
Counting down minutes, still nothing in it
Knowing I've run out of sweet time
