“Experiencing a bout of writer’s block? All poets (and artists of every kind!) get stuck every once in a while, even the greats. Whenever my inspiration well runs dry, I take a step back from writing about my own life experiences and try to find inspiration elsewhere.

 

Don’t forget: Poetry can be about anything, and you can find poetic beauty in every kind of writing. Instead of writing from your own perspective, try writing a poem or passage from the point of view of someone—or something—else. Your creative juices will be flowing in no time.”
