Blogs and Poets
Lately I have been running out of thing to write for my blogs. I wonder if famous poets and authors go through this same thing. I believe this is called writers block. For me it isn’t so bad that I have run out of things because this is only a daily grade for me, but for authors and poets it is a huge thing. If they don’t write then they don’t get paid. If they don’t get paid they will not have money to pay their bills. If they don’t pay their bills they will have nowhere to live, nothing to drive and no food to eat. I cannot image writing being my permanent job. Having to depend on my own creativity to earn money and make a living off of is not a definite thing. I want a job that I know will bring home the money, even when I am having an off day. Maybe that’s why some poems make no sense. Maybe poets get so desperate for money that they just write down a bunch on nonsense and then sell it like it’s a masterpiece. I mean it is easy to just make up a bunch of stuff and pass it off as something with deeper meaning. I guess poets are pretty smart people. They write poetry that may have no meaning to them, but it cause people for years and years to debate over the true meaning of it. So the poets get the last laugh because really the poems had no meaning at all. They were just a way to make money
