Daily Poetry Chat- Thursday, October 22

Has the recession affected your poetic output? I think its affected my creativity somewhat. Its hard to be creative when you are worried about finances.

Anyone else go through this in the last year? Or ever?

Oh my, I have not been here in awhile - many changes in your blog. I have a page dedicated to poetry - I think I will add you to the blog roll and when that poetry bug catches you again - I will be reading.

Someone said once that poetry is like a visitor that comes knocking at your door, if you do not answer, the poem will continue on to your neighbour and he will get your poem.

I just got back from a camping/birding trip, the way I recharge my batteries, and was pleased to discover your return.

For the past year I have been less interested in poetry and I never thought to connect it to the economy, or any other cultural or cosmic event. I have produced less, read less, and been less impressed with my output. I suspect it's just a prolonged brain cramp and that this too will pass.

Regarding your previous inquiry on 'prompt' sites. I have enjoyed 'Monday Poetry Train' because there are no prompts, just an opportunity to display what has been going through my mind.

Thanks for stopping by Janet! If I ever post more poetry online it will be at The Shores of My Dreams, found on the blogroll.
