Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “The Vast Empty” by: rob kistner © 1/22/24
Bright white
it blinds me
taunts me
empty as my mind
no stir of love
no rant of anger
no wink of irony
no blush of sensuality
no tale to spin
no phrase to turn
NOTHING!
just – vast — empty — screen
damn this poetic pinch

Nothing can truly be something…
Absolutely Björn — and as long as nothing is the something you got… or not.
The “vast — empty — screen” and the frustration you express in the face of creative emptiness captures the essence of writer’s block!

I had it real bad today David… 😐
Love it!
Thank you Jan… hey, if you got nothng — go with it… 😉
That poetic pinch can sure bite deeply. Yikes. May I suggest a bunch of poems to read then to lure your muse?
Thanks Grace. 🙂
You made something out of nothing, looked upon it, and it was good! 😉
Thank you very much Kim. I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
And just like that, poetry escapes onto the page in a pinch! Loved it, Rob!
Thank you Dora I appreciate the fact that you “got it”.:)
Wonderful! Those blank white spaces, empty screens can be confounding, yes?! Love your quadrille in spite of it.
Thanks Helen. I just figured if you can’t find it to go with it.?????????????????
Ah, I know that blank screen well, Rob.
You’ve filled it well.
Thank you De I was just wondering when an idea here. 🙂
Yep, sometimes you have to surrender to the void. There’s always something eluding us in there. Bravo!
Thank you Mish… 😉
Sometimes it’s best to just walk away–
but you created from the nothing.
Thank you Merril… 🙂
I hope the writing of is cathartic Rob, you capture the frustration and grief underlay so poignantly. I find it powerful.
Thank you Paul… 🙂
