Beware: Writer's Block

Help!

The white continues for eternity.

Forever it stares at me.

A glance to the left or to the right.

It's dull, snow-like compact never outta sight.

No design or layers or holes punched through.

No fashion statement, lace, even white on white and satin too.

It calls to me, caught in a trance, I cannot look away.

Tick tock, tick tock, the dance stops, I've lost half the day.

Oh, the drudgery of it all! Again I fail.

At this rate, it will surely miss the mail.

Make a plan they say, it helps to stick to the plot.

And tomorrow I shall, I'll break all the white with a single black dot!
