You just run out of inspiration, so you go and soak up life for a while, and fill up again. At any rate, when you do write, your poems are fantastic (at least the ones you let loose here), so I'm sure it will come back again.<BR/>Besides readwritepoem, you could look at http://totallyoptionalprompts.blogspot.com for some prompt ideasCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-85833107969578972082008-08-10T22:34:00.000-04:002008-08-10T22:34:00.000-04:00Jana,Me, too!!!

I understand your dilemma. If nothing inspires me I usually try to do something completely different (maybe cooking, which I'm not very good at) and then I find the muse comes back. (Flutters in through the window, sort of!)<BR/><BR/>You might like to view some of my efforts. I'm just off to perform some of my monologues at a charity 'do' today, but I'll certainly browse your Blog this-evening.Rinkly Rimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890344869337115307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-5167515351338781612008-08-10T15:04:00.000-04:002008-08-10T15:04:00.000-04:00I'm in a funk too.
