There are times when, having worked on a poem, you are not satisfied with it, or you may think it is not the poem you had in mind. Perhaps your thoughts are in a tangle, and words won’t come together as you would like them to Or maybe the structure of the lines is eluding you. I guess every poet has had times like this. Put that poem out of sight, for the moment.
This experience will most likely have left you feeling restless. If this is so, make a list. It could be about what is in the room where you are writing,or the items that you are wearing. This may all sound strange, but it can help to produce the idea for a poem.
