Inspration for poets

Hi there--I think we've all hit that brick wall at one point or another--for me--I do find word prompts very helpful--for some reason, even if I feel like I don't know what to write, since I'm drawing a blank, the pressure of having a word prompt--creating something interesting out a a word or two, sparks something in me. Picture prompts could also work well ---One other method is to always keep a notebook at hand--and whenever you have the chance, just keep jotting down snippets or ideas for poems, then whenever you hit that brick wall, look back to your notebook and see if you get inspired to write something---I hope this helps & joining online writing community sites are really helpful--I'm a member of one such site and it's done wonders for my writing-- http://www.onestopwriteshop.com is a very useful site for me, where other writers are also very nice to help you out...

Whenever I hit a brick wall, I go out and take a walk. If it is during the day, I look at the clouds, trees, birds, flowers, and try to feel the coming of the wind. When nature gets sickening, writing wise, I go to a crowded place and just observe people and how each individual fumes with uniqueness. If it is during the night, I go out and just listen to the sounds. I allow them to enter my mind and bring me pictures of the past. If I get too tired, I take a nap. Somehow giving myself time to refresh my system also brings me new lines to add to my work.
