Poem #1

So here goes a first attempt. They'll all likely be free form; I'm not much into rhyming poems, though I may change my mind at some point over the next 100 days!

Trying to make it just right
just write
when once it flowed freely
now forced somehow
is it inside
just blocked somehow
or is it gone?

maybe the muscles have atrophied
from years of neglect
it doesn't seem right
it doesn't seem write
but write
just write
and maybe
in the end
it will be
just right

That's it. No editing. Just wrote what was in my head. Not a great first attempt, but I have plenty of days ahead to redeem myself.
