Any advice!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This occurs to all of us at times!. I have consulted with The Board of Directors of the Poetry Section, Department of Temporary Demusification!. Their suggestion is that you read the book written by the real-life trainer who is the inspiration for "The Horse Whisperer!." It seems that one of the best ways to get a horse to follow you, is to walk away from the horse!. This seems to work equally well with Muses!. In this spirit I offer you some suggestions: Take a course in Beginning Finnish!. The only difficult with this is knowing where to start!. Study the Art of Cheese Waxing!. Read The Complete Works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton!. He is quite possibly the single worst novelist in the history of English literature!. He is best known for the opening line of one of his deservedly ignored novels whose name I have fortunately forgotten, "It was a dark and stormy night!." Explore the riches of some form of music hitherto completely unknown to you!. Near the top of my list would be Mongolian throat music or Filipino nose flute songs!. Run for elective office!. You might even win!. It seems that the qualifications for some of these positions are abysmally low!. In order to be elected President of the United States, you need only convince the electorate that you would be a better drinking buddy than your opponent!. Qualifications for many lesser positions may be somewhat more stringent!. When the Muse sees that you no longer are shamelessly in whorish pursuit of her, she'll come running back!. Let me know how you do!. I'll be in North Waziristan, observing the annual mating of the dung beetles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com listen to good music, tour a city, look at art galleries, go outside more often!.!.!. get back to me on what kind of poetry your into I might be able to give some reading material to spark your imagination I dont write I paint but theres nothing like a song with a good beat to "get those creative juices flowing" as my mentor saysWww@QuestionHome@Com go to your cave!. find the stream!. launch your canoe, lift the paddles and float on the water!. drift deep into the cave!.
