I have been writing few poems lately, and they all seem to be falling flat. The emotions i feel that I must express aren't being preserved by the words that i write. Please help me get out of this slump.

I think that your natural mood is not ready yet. Put them away and go to a park or flower shops or nursery or if possible, mountain.
I only know this much.

well, all i know is that you can't push things like this

mine comes when it wants to

though I do listen to music quite a bit to get me inspired but really if you don't have a feeling to write down, it's okay to be in a slump

it happens all the time

Nice poem just needs a little work.

and they all seem to be falling flat.

aren't being preserved by the words that I write.
