Exquisite Corpse and Other Collaborations - 8. Blank Paper
New Exquisite Corpse poem by myself and @Mikiesboy. Believing that you'll never get your writing mojo back is a depressing place to be.
Here, we wrote 4 stanzas. As usual, I shared the last line of my first stanza with tim, he shared the last line of his first stanza with me, and back and forth until we were done. Then, we revealed our full stanzas to one another, combined them into one piece, and created this completely unedited poem.

Most days it feels pointless
To pick up a pen, to put thoughts on paper
Because who really cares what I have to say?
My thoughts are a jumbled, worthless mess
Once my head held stars and cities
Now skies are black and houses empty
There are no stories, no hope or dreams
Only emptiness lives here now
Those moments of abundant clarity
When inspiration launched forth in waves
Have become few and far between,
Imprisoning me in vacuous isolation
This blank paper taunts me,
I can hear its hollow laughter
All the words are dead
There will be no resurrection
Thank you for reading.
