Grex Poetry Item 66: Writers blocks from Heaven.
Entered by cloud on Thu Mar 25 03:50:15 UTC 1999:

(Off the top o' my head)

Where have all the poets gone?
Are they off snuggling
in quitly bohemian corners?

What exactly happened
the day this conf. died?

I think their's been a plague
of cement blocks
smiting creativity-
but I might be wrong.

So somebody crawl out 
from under your block,
and bloody well say "HI!"

 !!

--Cricket, who feels bored and somewhat disgruntled.

Activity in most conferences comes in bursts...and writing is a notoriously
occasional activity - whenever you _want_ to write, you have nothing _to_
write, because the muse is a bitch.

what I think we needed was some drift; this's a good item for it.  (;

Dammit, I am not a bohemian!  Oh wait-- maybe I am.  I've been so busy 
that my creative juices for poetry have been a little strained.  I can't 
rush it and I'm sorry I haven't produced anything good lately.

I also do my best to give good, constructive, and thoughtful critique-- 
so some of my creativity goes there.  This is a two-way street, as you 
know.

This one is very interesting, but, if all the poets were dead or 
sleeping, so would you be.
