Greetings I used to write poems. Lots of them. Sometimes they were actually good, following a bunch of rewrites. Sometimes they would land on the page fully formed. Only sometimes. It has now been over a decade since I stopped writing and performing poetry regularly. And with that muscle not having been exercised in that period, sitting down to try and write a poem is a lot more trying and very little writing. I have always been a generalist. I have, jokingly but seriously, called myself a professional ‘jack of all trades.’
