‘Tis my last day and all is dark
the clouds o’ershadow my mind.
The task before me, to seize a spark
a glimmer of creativity find.

O, where are the words?
O, where are the rhymes?
My pen scratches out
these meaningless lines!

There’s nothing to write,
all poetry is dead.
The beauty of expression
from me has fled.

Blank pages mock me,
my voice forever stilled.
Panic flows through my veins
blue rivers leave me chilled.

I struggle against my captor,
the mud of this intellectual swamp.
It holds me down in inky depths,
and drowns me in this prompt.

TASK PROMPT: Use hyperbole to write a poem about a minor inconvenience. Make it an epic struggle worthy of legend.
