If you get caught in the web of rhymes

 

Once the mind gets entrapped
in the Siren’s song of rhymes
makes writing a poem, a veritable crime
when pen wants words
to go down
they simply insist
it is time for them
to go for a climb.

What to do
when this misfortune befalls,
stop writing,
let the hand stall?

Here is a suggested remedy
that one might try
take a break, go for a walk
and look at the blue
shimmering sky.

Do anything
but pull on your hair,
or use cold shower
and hope to break away
from Siren’s lair.

For it is impossible to fit
a square peg
into a round hole
the best one can do
is to go out
and take a slow stroll.
