A Language I Can Not Speak Anymore
Since before I was a teenager I started writing poetry. I wrote well over a hundred poems but only about a dozen really good ones. But for the past two to three years I've not written more then maybe four lines of any one poem. I start to feel poetic and have a sense of what I want to convey in the poem but can't get more then a few lines down.
It has become so frustrating to me. I miss feeling poetic and then being able to express the feelings to my heart's content. The moments of inspiration or poetic feelings are few and far between and then when I do actually have them, they won't take form in words. When I thought about how I haven't been able to write poetry in a long time, I started to think of a poem about the subject and came up with the name of this post...however, I couldn't come up with more then a few lines.
I've felt my inspiration running low in all aspects of late. I'm experiencing a dullness of my mind and I'm bored with myself.
Part of me keeps thinking that maybe if I experienced something new...saw something new...maybe it would recharge my creativity and spark inspiration. What about you? Have you experienced something similar? What did you do?

I just thought of an activity that might be fun. Pick a friend or two to converse with, but only say what you have to say in poem form.
ReplyDeleteI have definately experienced something similar. I often have bouts where I feel completely uninspired and it's really frustrating. I usually try to take a break and search for new inspiration. That can come from many different things...hearing some new music, reading, watching something new. But sometimes I just need to get out and do something or experience something new. Maybe meet some new people. All of that can contribute to regaining my inspiration. I like Amber's idea too. Sometimes we need to challenge ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies. Those are some good thoughts! ^_^
