I am having a motivation crisis! I have all of these thoughts jumbling around in my head but no motivation to put them down. I don't even want to. I actually want to go to sleep. I think there is something wrong with me. Someone help me please!
Maybe a bike ride this evening will help???

Poetry Today
Should I be worried for my poetry by entering into this new world of poetry? I have been reading a lot of the current poetry today, wondering what happened to actual, classic poetry. A lot of it seems to be in story form. I feel like I'm reading a story and not poetry. The new generation of poetry has lost all rhythm, flow, and beauty.
I fear that my poetry will not meet the new standards that has generated for poetry. I am lost when reading it. I have no idea what the the writer is talking about, expressing, or visualizing. I can not enter into the poet's world, for I am lost at lines added that shouldn't be added. However, these poets are receiving awards and publication.
In my opinion it is not a poem unless it can flow and has a rhythm to it. I am not talking about rhyming I am talking about rhythm. I was taught that a poem not matter what style, needs rhythm.
There are great poets out in the world but are they going unnoticed? Do we all need to subject our style and rhythm to the new generation standards in order to be noticed? This new generation of poetry has corrupted the beauty that once was poetry. It is disgusting!

Random thought for the day
The air cool, warm
Settling on the skin,
Tingling the nerves.
The sensation
mesmerizing.

Kentucky Weather
I love Kentucky weather and for those that do not know me, I'm being sarcastic. It has stormed all day, flooding the streets and flooding my dept at my work. Now the sun is shining like it never stormed at all. At least it is cool.....around the 70s, which is really nice considering the horrible heat wave we have had the past few weeks. The humidity is also down...surprising for Kentucky. As they always say in if you don't like the weather in KY wait 20 minutes and it will change.

The unexpected
I hit writer's block last week. It was a miserable week. The feeling of emptiness, hollowness, sadness, and of being caged. Somehow it evaporated last night while listening to Stabbing Westward, which somehow became inspiration of some sort. I am not sure how it happened. I just wanted to hear a song. Now the words are pouring out of me. I have a purse full of sticky notes from jotting down random thoughts throughout the day. Weird and silly how inspiration can come to you. I am definitely not complaining. Whatever works, let it work!
