*A/N* I've been having an infuriating case of writer's block lately, so therefore I had to rant about it. I think that lots of people can relate......
I’m at a loss for what to write Looking for something to strike my fancy Ideas, full and juicy, Fade away like autumn wind See, did you read that last line? SOooooOooo cliché I’m empty, wordless My characters run away from me As if I had the plague! The plague? Really? More clichés!...... Jonathan, cooperate! Stop talking! Hurry up and get to the Elf Kingdom! YOU, Sir, are far too slow! Listen to me! Listen! Psssh, if you don’t want to listen, I’ll…..I’ll….. Pickalloftheleavesoffofaplantandstomponitalittle! I’m longing for words to whisper into my ear How cliché was that sentence? It’s okay, you can tell me. Tell me what to say! My only wish is THAT MY CHARACTERS WOULD LISTEN TO THEIR ULTIMATE RULER AND KING AND OBEY HER EVERY WISH! Such a simple request, and yet it is not being followed….. I mean you, Mia. My brain is suffering Perhaps it is the strain OF COMMANDING MY UNGRATEFUL SUBJECTS’ LIVES!!!! Ahem. Excuse me. That was quite the sneeze. I’m looking for the right words to describe MY INDESCRIBABLE FRUSTRATION! With my words. They are useless, bland. They taste like sand. ^ I can’t believe that rhymed! CLICHÈ! Or toilet water. Which would you prefer, Lillie? I no longer have meaning I no longer rule My characters have apparently overthrown me Their master and King They don’t need me, I’m useless. They can direct their own lives Allegedly. I’m at a loss for what to write Especially now that I’ve written something.Comments

A truly amusing drabble. My favorite part was where you spoke of the characters "overthrowiing you."

This is a great poem!!! I REALLY hate writers block, it's the worst! I liked the lines "My characters have apparently overthrown me." and "Fade away like the autumn wind." Job well done.

I getcha, Erin. Don't worry, the block will pass. I've had it many a time. And the poem was...dare I say it?...quite funny! But it also showed your frustration amazingly well.

I was going to tell you which parts were my favorite but I think I'd end up quoting the whole thing! The cliche frustration and the all-caps, and the "Allegedly"... Basically, I was laughing the whole way through.
