For this post, I sat down for almost two days thinking of something to write, but words would not just come out! I was so frustrated and close to giving up when this poem came out about my current situation
Writers Block
My mind is a blank
Words stop from forming at a snap
I have a severe case of writer’s block!
My mind stuck between a hard place and a rock.
Ideas keep flitting about,
But none seem to root and sprout.
I keep reading hoping for a spark of inspiration
But nothing comes to mind, resulting in loads of mental perspiration
My mind is a blank, as a sheet of paper
Words stuck inside, waiting to come out…
On the surface, fifteen-year-old Sonil has come to her adored grandmother’s house on a small island off the coast of India to mend her shaky health. Secretly, however, she longs to find out why her mysteriously distant mother agreed to have her sent away as a child.
During World War II and the last days of British occupation in India, fifteen-year-old Vidya dreams of attending college. But when her forward-thinking father is beaten senseless by the British police, she is forced to live with her grandfather’s large traditional family, where the women live apart from the men and are meant to be married off as soon as possible.
