Write A Line: Writer's Block Poem for Kids. Look, listen, smell, taste, feel ... inspiration is everywhere.

Write A Line

A funny cloud, a secret’s shroud

A wave, a want, a wink

A dying fly, a needle’s eye

The time it takes to blink

A baby’s smell, a day from hell

A friend, a foe, a find

A life unfair, a love unshared

The meeting of the minds

A lightning fork, a dream that’s corked

A splint, a spec, a sigh

A mother’s hug, a father’s shrug

The who, the where, the why

A wish that wakes, a vow that aches

A star, a sun, a sign

A life of thought, a truth that’s caught

The will to write a line

💡 Writers sometimes get writer's block but inspiration for writing a poem is all around you. Make a list of random things that you can see, hear, smell, feel or taste right now, even if they don't seem exciting. Inspiration for writing a poem often lies in things we take for granted: the simple things, the everyday and even the mundane.

Conversely, sometimes the inspiration for writing a poem lies in feelings deep inside you - unique feelings and thoughts, longing to be turned into words and lines on page.
