I am sitting at my office desk and
waiting for some inspiration to kick in.
I feel like throwing the numerous
documents which need to be reviewed in the dust bin.
Doing time pass during the working
hours is an unforgivable sin.
A person doing some thing similar
near by feels like a kin!
The A to Z challenge is making me
restless and sleepless.
The boss and the work are being
careless and relentless.
If I put forward my concerns of a
blogging challenge will I sound reckless?
If I keep on blogging with joy will
the colleagues around me get jealous?
Still no luck , no light and
no brightening idea in my head.
Looks like I need to quit
being creative and work only to earn bread.
The man in the adjacent cubicle who
is eyeing me from an hour is my dread.
Thank God it is 5 P.M. in the
evening and he has already fled!
As I sit and ponder as to what I
should write with the letter "I",
many words hit me randomly and my
brain is heated up to be a fry.
To avoid the confusion I go to the Ato Zers and shout for help and cry.
They instantly gave a bunch of words and
"ideas" asking me to try!
From "I" to ice-cream to
inspiration to India to idea to Imran,
I was told,”You just need to think,
anything and everything can be written."
I thought of writing about my
husband Imran but it felt silly.
I thought of ice-cream, went to
food court to have one and just dilly dally!
I lost all my hopes and felt like
just forgetting the letter I.
Then suddenly an idea made me smile and there was a sparkle in my eye.
I thought of writing my plight, my
insight and the desire to not lose the fight.
Hence wrote this id(ea)otic poem
which may actually sound idiotic and not right! :)
Thanks to the supportive group A to Zers. In their absence I would have quit this challenge :)

Superb, Afshan. Just superb. Only you could take a writer's block and convert it into such a delightful thing. I could really identify with the desire to blog while at work and the nervousness about being caught not working.
