It's the simple things in life, =z=
Well, you know, that's something I can't do. i've been told that a
good poet can write about anything and make it poetry, and that's what
I think keeps me out of the league. I can't turn the mundane into
anything but mundane, and frankly I'm not inspired to try. (I
remember, when I started exploring writing sites on the web, one gave
as it's first lesson: "Write a poem about your sneakers" (I guess
you'd call those 'trainers' -- here in Canada we say 'runners' or
running shoes'). I tried, but all that accomplished was to frustrate
me, and I never did go to Lesson 2.
The downside of that, of course, is that i go through dry periods when
I don't write at all, because I can't find anything to write about. It
can be a problem, and I don't know exactly how to overcome it.

Same here! Since I'm headed to Del Ranch right now for some
performance with my music pals there, I'm in luck, since DR also
serves one of the best steak & baked potato dinners in the area.

Well then you just write about the dry period. No?
