Yes I've gone and done it, I've written a poem about not writing; my ladies and gentlement, I feel this may be the end...farewell


Sitting slumped. Wrists ache
as she tries to type - clack
clack thunk. Shit, no paper.
One foot is numb, taking her weight.
She inhales. Shit, no bath.

Scattered around, the Greats
jeer. Larkin, Plath where is your
cynicism? Where is the obscure
imagery, faded origin of so much
shit.

Clack. She drops to the desk.
No more nightmares tonight.

I liked this - somewhat overworked theme possibly but a nice piece. Last line didn't work so well for me, a bit throwaway possibly. Particularly liked the beginning.
