Blank verse

Blank verse never tried
bleak violets of early spring
barren earth from wintry chills
none works today - an inane insanity
where poets before me have succeeded
I palely fail at this void go.
Ack, where is my inner bard?
A poet's conundrum
comes as no surprise
I am a prisoner of words
Blank verses do not arise.
