Writer’s Block
The writer sits staring at the blank screen. She looks around the room for inspiration. Two Christmas trees and a mantal full of Christmas knick knacks give her nothing. What was she thinking? Twelve stories of Christmas.
She is full of ideas which with time and nurturing would develop into great stories. But, there was little time for revision. These ideas must be quick and efficient stories to write. A haiku might work, she thinks. But, she didn’t say twelve poems, she said stories. A haiku won’t cut it.
Then, inspiration
She won’t just write a haiku
She’ll add some prose too
This is perfect, the writer realizes. She could write a few lines, count a few syllables and she’d be ready to post. Then she can focus on other Christmas activities.
The reindeer’s red nose
Guides Santa’s sleigh through fog
Can’t disappoint kids
Long ago baby
Brought hope for peace to the world
Jesus Christ was born
Girls’s out of his league
But she’s under mistletoe
He can steal a kiss
That should do it. The writer formats the post, and schedules the post. She’s off to bed where visions of holiday stories will dance in her head. Six more to go.
