Do you write poetry?

I love writing poems but I haven't really been feeling inspired lately. Do you have a favorite poem you've written or read?

I used to write poetry all the time then I noticed I had stopped for a long time...years actually. I realized that my source of inspiration for my poems was the suffering and confusion that came from living with my mental illness. When I started meds and got stable I didn't have my inspiration anymore. Lately I haven't been doing well and voila I've been writing poetry again. Still I'd give up writing poems for stability any day.

@Ananke I totally understand that. I feel that my poems were at their best when I was going through traumatic situations or dealing with the depression from said experiences.
I'm sorry you haven't been doing well. Hopefully things will get better and be alright again

there are a few that I've liked pretty well from others. a couple of my own that I don't hate.

I wrote one just lately, under the post "I Am Inspired By Writing" if you want to check it out.

Occasionally, but I haven't been inspired recently either.
