I usually write tons of poetry... but it just hasnt seem to be working lately... anyways you guys know to help me get out of the rut?

The only thing i can think of, that works for me, is to just let go of it for a while - dont think about it. Of course when anyone says "dont think about pink elephants!" it's impossible to not think about pink elephants, so you gotta go do something else, go outside and sk8, or go to the beach and look for shells, or hit the kitchen and make some cookies, or anything like that, that you like to do. The idea is to get so involved in some simple thing that you lose all self-consciousness, and your muse will be back before you know it. hope this heps.

I have done this technique with my tarot deck, but if you do not have a tarot deck any image will work. With the chosen image, pen, and paper, sit, relax, and while studying the image, try and tell a story of what exactly is happening in the image. ( Try any image... Art, a picture, etc... ) Understand?
