Empty mind
Naked limb
Creative light
A little dim...
Blank page
Looking on
Wooden hand
Muse gone...
Dark clouds
Release rain
Jumbled words
Scattered train...
Clearing skies
Colors bright,
Gripping pen
Love’s delight...
Blood flowing
Flesh reborn
Thoughts turning
Quiet morn...
Wood broken
Shattered dry
Flow returns
By and by.

This is another Magpie Tale; a creative writing challenge.
(got a chuckle reading the comments @ Magpie Tales on this one...
glad I wasn't the only one whose mind was blank ...initially ;-) )

HA! I'm always ready the little print before the big. I was going to comment that this sounds exactly like writer's block and then saw the title. Great job.
And you turned writer's block into amazing writing. Most of us go and clean the cooker :)
Brilliant take on this prompt! I love it. LOVE it!!
Well done! Writer's block can be tough -- but you persevered!
Splendid! I thoroughly enjoyed your poem.
there is a nice cadence to this as you progress from nothing to definitely something...nicely done magpie!
Ah, couldn't get inspiration from the prompt, so write about struggling with the Muse!! I did the same thing! But yours is better!
Enjoyed this , thank you for sharing…

VERY clever way to tie the title into the photo and represent your initial "block". But you weren't blocked at all!! Great representation!
Thanks for visiting me!

Lovely the way you handed writer's block the door!
Very clever writing!
This is a really good poem and a fun reply to the prompt. Thank you for your kind comments on my blog today. I appreciate your visit. Glad to have met you, Amy!
Very clever and a twist that I would never have thought of.

I love this! Great job. Sometimes Willow gives us some pretty tough prompts, doesn't she! I love the way that you tell a story with very few words. They convey the point so succinctly and yet it doesn't take many words to get the point across. Bravo!
