Роберт Ли Брюэр предлагает поэтам написать стихотворение о творческом спаде

Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 794 Every Wednesday, Robert Lee Brewer shares a prompt and example poem to get things started for poets. This week, write a slump poem. For this week's prompt, write a slump poem. It's wonderful when everything is going great, but there are times when the good times turn south. And when the bad times continue for a bit, they can turn into a slump. Whether it's related to losing sporting events or struggling with your writing or just having a pleasant day, slumps are sustained periods of things not going the way you'd like. They're not pleasant, but they can be a good way to write. Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.
