disturbing my dreamy thrills
Pal speaks appreciatively
highlighting my writing skills.
“Why the long silence, may I ask?
No posts on your blog?
Posts came thick and fast,
now why none?”, he barks.
Me: “Brain on strike now, yaar
Refuses to churn out stuff
Parked like a petrol-less car
without a clue to crank it up”
“Don’t worry, my dear”, he says
“Common is this to writers
To work around it, many are ways
Desperate situations, desperate measures”
“Ever heard of ‘sudal’?, he winks
“Do a survey and surf the blogs
Choose what holds your interest
this is full time business of cogs”
Never heard words sweeter
that warmed my heart so
Like I got a load of Ferraro Rocher
that I gobbled at one go!
So here I come fellow bloggers
to ‘suttufy’ your matter
There are bloggers and coggers
I choose to join the latter!
PS-1: This is not a figment of my imagination and all characters are alive and kicking
PS-2: ‘sudal’ and ‘suttufy’ refers to cog in Tamil slang-in plain words copying.

It should be a nice post, it has tens of labels, I am confident you will be a professional 'soodifier' :):)
Blogging is an addiction, and a good one too, but what do we do when we come to a junction, when our brain stops all function.
Keep on digging Latha, you are bound to come up with ideas.
With Ferrero Rocher, may I gift this Pudhukural for your writer's blo(ck)g:-
"Suttathu sweet aagum- athanaal
suduvor suduthal vidaar!"
Here, I should confess that I got inspired by Rama's post on fathers'day that prompted me a post on that topic.
Thanks Shafi-if I don't excel as a sudifier it will not be for lack of trying :)

Good eevening!
Beautiful poem.
Hi Latha:)
This conversation with your friend vividly describes the predicament of a blogger to keep writing at periodic intervals because your blogger friends expect to see your post.
I had such problems too and it used to get on my nerves. This is why I switched to photo blogging. I found my mind refused to churn up material for writing at regular intervals. Every thing is now easy on account of the camera.
I enjoyed reading your well crafted poem.
Best wishes Latha:)
