Staring down at this blank page,
My ink grows brittle, dry with age,
Too many thoughts racing ‘round,
Yet I try to put them down.
Passing by, found then lost,
Upside down, turned and tossed.
Whizzing by, a flash of light,
Briefly seen, then out of sight.
Blocked and trapped in this paper cage,
Staring down at this blank page.

Understand. It’s a problem (the only one!) I have never experienced. I think just write anything – any old rubbish – and your mind will take off. Good luck.
