Steelers in '23
Hey, Tyr, been working on a regular free form poem as you know I like, since I know squat about how to form a good sentence, let alone a good poem!
Started like a month ago and fell into a mental block of sorts. And funny ironic thing? A large part is about mental blocks and such, and then one sticks me in a rut.
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

Mental blocks are not rare things with writers. Especially so with poets.Originally Posted by jimnyc

Best to store the poem fragment and come back to it days/weeks/months or even years later.
I just recently did that with a poem fragment from 1973, started when I was 19 years old!
And made a very fine poem from that start.. --Tyr
