I've Been Smudged........

Basically- I am experiencing a writer's block that is stretching past a 3 month period...so I want to read some poetry during my lack of writing it.

Though my cat (Smudge or Smudgie Baby) in the above picture looks absolutely comfortable- I don't want to read any poetry that will put me in that same 'dead to the world' position of sleep.

So- my only requirements are that your poetry keep my attention (no matter how long) and express numerous qualities of excellent writing while doing so.

That all being said- thanks?
