Terese,
I'm not sure why you regarded my reply as some sort of attempt to force Tom into writing poems against his will - what I responded to was not the fact that he had lost his inspiration or interest or whatever, but that it seems his disillusion with the 'poetry world' was the reason. I do think it's sad that anyone with poetic talent should stop writing because of an external thing like this. One of the wonderful things about poetry is surely that we create our own 'poetry world' with each poem we write.
But come along, Tom, ve haf vays ov making you vrite....
Regards, Maz
