I have nothing to say anymore about poetry.
I keep trying, but nothing comes out.
I know I have more to say, but somehow I’m more interested in writing poems than writing about poems.
I think I’m aiming toward ending my tenure as an essayist, soon…getting harder to come up with topics than don’t seem like a rehash of past ones.
I need some inspiration.
I need a drink, as well, but I’m not drinking these days — maybe there’s a connection.

Don’t know if this is much help, but…
…if you haven’t already done it, I’d be interested in a few comparisons of poetry and song. Each gets away with things that would never work in the other. Which great song lyrics would work as spoken pieces? Which spoken pieces would work as song lyrics?
Why has poetry (largely, usually) done away with some of the essential elements of song, like refrains? Why is it that songs generally rhyme and poems generally don’t?
Ok, this is starting to sound like classroom writing assignment, but it really is something that’s been knocking around my head.
