Haiku Friday: Blocked

Crushing heaviness
weighs on my heart and yet my
fingers can’t type it

I’ve got writer’s block
not for lack of subject, but
far too much to say

Soon I’ll find a way
to get past this, but til then
I must beg patience

Have you ever had so much going on in your life that was so intensely personal that you couldn’t get it all out if you tried? Yeah, that’s my life at the moment. And as a result I’m having trouble writing about anything else. It’s so frustrating. So please bear with me as I work through this. I’m hoping to find a way to get it all out on the screen next week. Then I can purge it from me and find my writing spirit again.

(Sorry for the downer this week, everyone!)

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!

  1. Yep, I can relate to that sometimes. Good luck!

  2. I’m sorry you are going through whatever it is in your life. Whenever you’re ready to talk about it, we’ll be here.

  3. Everybody gets down sometimes. Hopefully you can get it all out and feel better!

  4. I hope it all works out in the way you want it too. Good luck and hugs to you!

  5. i know the feeling. hang in there

  6. I love coming to your blog and reading your thoughts (haiku and otherwise) Share what you can, when you can, we’ll be here eager to read it all when you’ve got it out!!

  7. Oh yes, it’s hard when that happens! Sometimes things can be so overwhelming it’s hard to even know where to begin. (Hugs)

  8. Been there. Hope that things get better!

  9. I’ve had one of those weeks too! Hope that things get better for you soon!

  10. Oh how I can relate to that. Hope the words flow from the fingers soon 😉

  11. Hang in there. Just remember you have lots of cyber friends who love you. 🙂

  12. I hope you can work through everything. We all have had those feelings of overwhelming responsibility that just crush the spirit. Life gets heavy sometimes, and that is when we must turn to God to carry the burden for us. I pray that your load will be lightened.

  13. I’m sorry you are feeling this way, but I can definitely relate! It may sound silly, but I’ve actually found haiku-ing about what’s going on really helps. It somehow pares down the craziness into something small and manageable, if only for a few minutes.

  14. Sorry you are experiencing problems that you can’t write about. It really helps to get things off your chest once you can express them in prose or poetry. Hope today is good to you.

  15. Familiar feeling for most of us who write our way through problems and feel the loss when words fail. Here’s hoping the block won’t last long and that whatever weighs on your heart resolves itself soon.
    Hugs and blessings,

  16. I’ve had that feeling
    Maybe even in haiku!
    Hugs from me to you.

  17. We all go through that once in awhile…just take your time.

    Sending some good thought!

  18. When you have something you need to get off your chest, and cannot, it’s painful. I feel your pain.

  19. I have felt that way many times. Hang in there.

  20. Aww, I’m so sorry to hear that. That was me too recently, so I hear ya. Hugs and warm thoughts coming your way! I’d send you one of the S’mores bars I made yesterday if I could… they definitely helped. If you want the recipe let me know!

  21. Just hang in there!

  22. chin up, it does pass.

  23. i’m so sorry…hang in there!

  24. I feel like this right now too. I wish that I wrote this Haiku. I hope you find your words but don’t feel pressure to get them out. We’ll be here.

  25. Purging is good. I hope it helps. Good luck.

  26. Understandable. You’ll get back to it. It happens.

  27. Oh can I relate?? Oh yes. One of these moments you’ll know how to get it out. Sorry to hear things continue to be tough.

  28. Don’t you worry. I’m sure many of us can relate to this. It’s one of those strange blogging things that we all experience when things are just a bit too much. Don’t feel bad about taking time. Last thing you need is to have blog guilt.

  29. Hi Christina—
    I just gave you an award on my blog…please come by to visit!
