Help! i really need some inspiration

Hi gang,

Now, i have a challenge for you
i've just looked back in my poems, and realized that the most recent poem i actually wrote was almost a month ago. a whole month!!! i have serious writers block, and cant seem to get round it.

now thats where you guys come in....
i need something to inspire me. something to make me want to pick up a pen and write. i am allowing prewritten poems, because i know that often out best poems are ones we have had time to work on.
all i ask is that if you enter more than one prewrite, you enter a fresh write as well. o yes and no adult content cause im not allowed to read it

i wish you all best of luck, i know you are all great writers, and look forward to reading some really great poems

love
lucy
xxxxxxxx
