"Coo Coo" "Coo Coo" the bird didn't say as it lay on the ground not making a sound with a headache all over from Calais to Dover it's brains in a puddle of blood it's all good because dead pigeons are'nt missed or spotty boys kissed in this vision of bliss that is life Ok, so its not so good but I have had a bit of trouble writing lately and the only thing that I can get worked up about is a dead pigeon and even then I have to be in a certain "mood" to write about it.

It can be hard, Mr. Zu, but I have a bit of advice for you anyways... when you can't write poetry, try reading it? Study some classic poets of old, find one you like, learn how he or she wrote poetry and try to see from that perspective. It's not copying. It's developing your technique. I think writer's block tends to be a result of our uncertainty with the actual process of writing, as in we forget the steps necessary... Start taking notes on your thoughts. Eventually you'll start taking notes in similies, metaphors, maybe even meter and rhyme. You'll even start seeing your tiny observations meld together in patterns. Draw out those patterns and you'll have a poem. That's how I do it sometimes, anyways... This poem is neat, I especially like the start and especially dislike the ending. You could have gone full-circle and given it more specific meaning than a vague shrugging three words that you left it off with. At any rate, thanks for sharing with the Sanctuary bunch, m'friend. Parasite Faith is a fine invention |

Okay, I'm sorry, but I started laughing hysterically when I read "it's all good"... I think I need to introduce a new catch phrase into my vocabulary if reading it in a poem made me laugh like that. ANYway, I'm glad you're still able to write about dead pidgeons at least. I'm with LP on this one... do some reading, you know you're just looking for an excuse to read some talent instead of my illogical stuff all the time (my ego is about THISBIG right now lol). Good luck to you on this one, I know how it is to try and get through writers block ... Even though you're gone ... |

Hey there, Andrew. Well, I'll be honest...when I first saw the title, I thought this might be a poem about a mutual friend of ours...*looks up at Rhonda* But then...I read the poem, and guess what? I like it. It's catchy...it's unique..and I enjoyed reading it. I can certainly relate to writer's block. I am just now starting to write again, after a VERY long dry spell. Just ask coo coo...er...I mean Rhonda. ..she knows. Anyway...I do hope to see more from you soon, and LP and Rhonda have given you some good advice... if ya can't beat 'em...read 'em. Well done, Andrew.
