What in the hell does that mean!?

It's a word filter over a word for illicit substances starting with a "d."



Poetry is a tough one. Really, the best you can do is go out and look for inspiration. Heck, the sestina I have bumping around the subforum was inspired by something I saw on the back of a truck in front on me, in fact, just the word "silhouette," and it snowballed from there. It didn't even end up the way I'd planned to make it because it just sort of took its own direction as I kept typing.

Walk somewhere with something interesting as a feature or something interesting going on. Got a skating rink? See if maybe something there catches your eye while people are skating. Got a greenhouse of some sort? See if maybe you get inspired by an exotic plant. You just have to figure out somewhere to go that might contain inspiration.
