  Your poem captures the tumultuous relationship between the pen, the paper, and the frustrated writer with vivid imagery and a touch of humor. The personification of the pen and paper as characters in a conflict adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the struggle and creative block faced by the writer. The details of the pen breaking its nib and leaving a stain, the paper with "two big black eyes," and the writer's visible frustration create a scene that is both relatable and engaging. The fly on the wall observing the chaos adds a subtle touch of irony to the situation, highlighting the writer's struggle in a lighthearted manner. Overall, your poem effectively conveys the challenges and emotions that come with the creative process. more »
