A Poem to Writer's Block

Here's a possible solution for writer's block:
I'm sitting here, head on my fist;
Trying to write something clever and bold,
But whenever my hand on my wrist
Reaches out to the keyboard, I fold.
I withdraw, and sit there a bit
Just hoping my juices will flow,
And my brain will regain its lost wit;
Where it's gone, I never will know.
I say to my mind, "What is wrong?
Just where are those phrases and quips?
Pray, tell, what is taking so long?
Not a word wants to flow past my lips."
I say, "What's the issue right now?"
I reply, with my eye on the clock;
"I can't think 'cause my brain has shut down;
So I'll write about my writer's block."

Thanks for your response meggan79. I haven't updated my website in a long time so I decided to write a poem but I just sat there with a blank expression on my face. Then I said to myself, "Why are you sitting there like an idiot; why don't you write something? Because I'm having writer's block," I answered. "Then write about that!" I said. So I did. I gave myself some good advice.
