need a little help
as some of you know, I'm taking a poetry class to make myself more well rounded as an educator.
as all of you know, poetry makes my heart sad.
these two facts combined have given me writers block.
i need a metaphor and i need to make a 22 line poem out of it.
i read a short story once about an author who pushed a cork screw into his back to help him concentrate.
what do you all do to fight writers block?

Write stuff that stinks, even though you don't even feel like writing anything. Just keep going. Come back later, and sometimes it turns out to be pretty good.
when i get writer's block...
i typically whine and get frustrated and curse at god and tell myself that my life as a writer is over. then i calm down and say, "god, if you exist, i'm sorry." then i go for a walk or something outdoors by myself. being outdoors tends to open my mind to all sorts of stimuli.
