Thanks Kim, I first considered the implications of laid, but this laid implies finished; I felt lade has the implications of to burden or oppress, the oppressive burden of not writing for compulsive poets :)

Thanks for the comment Kim, I originally considered laid; but lade to me implies the burden oppression, the weight of not writing, an oppression burden for compulsive poets :)

Beautiful sentiments felt, I'm sure, by all poets at one time or another. I would change LADE to LAID. Keep writing. Let more of those poems escape!
