Much like with my fiction writing, inspiration comes when I least expect it. It's so fun when I listen to music and suddenly get an idea for a character or story. I think what helps me get through poetry, one of my weakest genres, is the fact that while listening to music I can think of a subject to write about. It helps to create a persona of a poem that will be or has been written. I think that aspect of it is a lot of fun. If I tackle poetry the way I do fiction, then perhaps I can jump over the hurdles my mind deem as difficult. I appreciate the critiques, but what I like most is hearing othe peoples poems out loud. It reminds me of storytellying which I fin intriging.
