| User | zadhoevlhu13 | | Topic | HOW??? | | Message | How do you re-awaken the poet inside you?
this might seem broad or a somewhat boring question but I still want to ask. I used to write poems some years ago <I used to write a poem every other week or on free times> and now I feel like I don’t have the emotions anymore to write a poetry. I think I can’t anymore. That’s all... |

When all else fails, write about not being able to write. Write about everything- your breakfast experience, who pissed you off today, where you want to be 5 years from now. Don’t worry about poetic nature at first, just get words onto paper.
I find when I can’t hear my muses it’s because there’s too much other noise. Anxiety and stress are loud "noises" that drown out my muse.
I had to learn to stop fretting over how long it had been since I posted anything, and why it didn’t seem ’deep’ enough, or ’funny’ enough, etc. But stressing about not writing made it harder to write.
Most of us start writing poetry to deal with big emotions. What do You- the inside you- want to say? What is inside that makes you want to write? Sometimes it helps to re-read how you answered the "why do you write?" question on your QuickBio.

Also, read some good poetry. You’ll absorb what you read into your own style, and once you start seeing some variety in your work, you’ll start writing more just to see what you get. |

There, not much of an answer, but hey. |
