The Lost Poet

Why do I only feel compelled to write poetry lately when I’m sad? I don’t even like sad poetry to begin with. Boo.

    Wait, what? It’s POSSIBLE to write poetry when you’re not sad? (Actually, I don’t write poetry at all. Ever. But I used to write bad teen angst poetry.)

    Yeah, crazy eh? I used to write teen angst poetry too, also the bad kind. But now I find my best work comes out when I am feeling content and balanced. I pull way more material from the happier or more inspiring moments in my life than I do from the miserable ones. But lately I’m totally blocked!! It’s driving me nuts.

    I reallllly want to go to a Teen Angst Poetry reading in Vancouver sometime. They keep falling on highly inconvenient dates, though!
