I think I have writer's block!!!

Okay, so I recently started thinking about entering a writing contest. So, naturally, I googled those two lucky words and came up with a load of possibilities. Having had a break from writing creatively for the whole summer I was weary of how quickly I'd be able to get back into "writing mode", so I chose one of the writing contest sites I found and began writing on its topic for this year as an exercise. I started off with the one thing that used to come most easily and naturally to me before, poetry.

And I failed. I don't know why or how, but I couldn't think of anything. All the words I found on my paper after the nagging whiteness of the page made me write anything (as long as it was something) made no sense when put together. Nonsense! I had just written absolute nonsense! This had never happened before. Of course, I'd written the occasional poem where although I couldn't see it, I was sure there was some meaning buried deeply, very very (um, let me add VERY) deeply between the lines... But I'd never had a time when the poem I wrote turned out to be, at a second glance, just a lot of words mismatched/fitted roughly together. I thought I was past that stage in my writing development the last time I walked out of Countryside (elementary school).

Well, I guess I was wrong. After all, plenty of people have writer's block. And maybe this isn't it? I mean, I haven't tried writing any stories for a while. Maybe this is only a temporary lack of poetic abilities? Or maybe I never had them in the first place and somehow only realized that now... Whatever the case, I really hope that this will end ASAP (preferrably tomorrow) as I really want to enter one of those writing contests.
