When I'm in that situation, I junk what I'm writing and go do something else. Proper inspiration will come, and you'll be able to write a poem that makes you proud. There's no point o trying force things.

Most people love to talk about themselves. If you don't immediately respond in the same way, frustrating and boring them, they will consider you to be "a good listener," and go and on. This often happens to me because I don't believe that my life is very interesting, so I'm not eager to talk about myself.

Racism and other forms of bigotry are so hard to understand, but they're everywhere, here, in Quebec, in China, India, Myanmar, throughout Europe, Africa. People are just tribal, horrible creatures.

I think that this is your best poem, so far. The one line, "I'll know, see, and sense my world in a way," is a real gem.

I once suggested to one of Nebraska's state senators that he sponsor a bill which said that, if none of the candidates wins an outright majority of votes cast, no one gets the office. The election must be run again. I didn't hear back from him.

I imagine that it's quite frightening to be called "extremely vulnerable." It's good that you've done well so far. A fine poem, as always.

I like this. It's very cryptic, but, as Jim says, it makes a point. I'm guessing that "the elephant in the room" and the "lack of concern" are real, while the "bloody mess" is more a figure of speech.

"Pro-life" is an inappropriate euphemism, especially for this monster. He's proven that he's not at all pro-life, though he is anti-abortion.
