Silence in the Library
By Melancholic VIncent
I want to write but I don't get it right
Words lack consistency, aphasia smothers my fluidity
Noise lingers around and it's not the voices, i'm actually sound
"Silence in the Library" sign, must be just for the irony ...sigh....
Should I join the parody and vociferate? Or silent them with cyanide?
Nah, it doesn't rhyme and I can't stand all their drooling and dying time
I must be quite disturbed. Come visit me in the underworld.
I hear it's hot and sunny all year.

Author's Note:
I was feeling uninspired in university's library, so I wrote about being uninspired and this came up.Awards

I highly advise you not to feed karen after midnight... she turns into something no librarian would want to encounter... now back to the write... for this to be uninspired is an understatement... if i could write this well when i was uninspired i would jump up and down for joy... Excellent read...

I wonder what's that squee about. Life's vacation. No vacation in there.

I just like squeeing when I like something. See it as a compliment. Also, if life is vacation, can I skip school now? :D

Interesting subject, many times I ponder my actual poetic ability if I'd have just one day of inspiration.. At least we know a lot of those times are the reason we're unsuccessful. Nicely done.

I know this feeling all too well... I once went for 3 years without writing a single thing, and it took the smallest inspiration to get me back on track. I loved this xoxo

So good to hear that somebody actually still goes to a library! Used to be a good place to meet girls too, once upon a time. Tremendous reflections on the standard motto of "Silencio en la biblioteca!" - now go raise some Hell, Cheers Vince!

It was the Library of the University which is located near the Entrance Hall. So there is always a lot of noise in there even if there is a sign saying Silence and I just had to put that in a poem. I guess it turned out really okay. Meeting girls in Library, I wonder what it's like. Thanks!

This is actually exactly what I've been feeling lately, maybe I'll follow your lead and write about not writing? not sure, either way if I do I'll have a hard piece to follow, you really nail down the mental clusterfuck here, great work vincent, thanks for posting.

Yeah, I felt uninspired but in the end I got something a little different from usual, I think you can see the humorous side in here. But you can always write about being uninspired, it's amazing how you can end up talking about everything, even this. Thanks for your comment!
