Here is a poem,
or collection of Haiku-like stanzas written during a bout of not writing:
The Impossibility of a Poem
Writer’s block and tackle?
Hoist me up
with a verse!
The only meter I can find
is the kind
that counts kilowatt hours
Even given time,
no rhyme
comes to mind
Other people’s dogs
don’t care
if I love them.

It took me a goodly while to understand what the last stanza has to do with the rest of it.
Now that I think I do, I quite like this.
Besides the last stanza, and how it wraps it up, I particularly like “writer’s block and tackle”.
