I absolutely agree, Mark, and this poem is a perfect example of how to write a 5-7-5 and how to avoid writer's block. In my opinion, there is no such thing. I will often switch to another story, or even try my hand at a poem, in order to keep the creative juices flowing. Stopping is the worst thing one can do.

I hope you do well in this contest, as you've done well in writing this.

nicely done good advice to writers experiencing writer's block which is a common affliction among writers. I don't usually have that problem I can usually just write as you wisely advise

You are so right with your analysis. I use that technique as well. I took class many years ago that required the class to write 3 pages a day. We were to write them in longhand each morning. This class lead me to writing poetry.
Excellent 5/7/5 poem.

Blessings
Janet

Hi Mark,
This is good advice that a lot of people don't follow because when they have writer's block they fear the empty white page and the idea they won't have any ideas.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a wonderful rest of the week end.
Joan

It's good advice and I've tried it often. There are times when this old mind is blank-- That's when I open a blank WORD document and "mindlessly" power type. I do not think, filter, or organize. Occasionally, after closing that document and going back to it a day or two later -- presto! A seed of a poem has sprouted!

Nice entry!

Just write is right, our heads hold enough worries, dreams, tasks ect... to fill volumes of books. You captured a great topic in 5-7-5 syllables which usually would make me s few rewrites to pair down after the initial thoughts. Thanks for Sharing this and Good Luck in the Writers Block 5-7-5 syllable challenge

bravo poet for your vigorous-fight

Can you imagine the world without something to read? All would literally be lost in space.

This is an excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt. I try to make myself do this during dry spells. Sometimes it works. Put the pen in your hand and force yourself to write anything and see what happens. It doesn't always work but I would estimate that it works more times than it doesn't. good job and good luck
