Thanks. I was writing a lot of haiku
for about a week last year, mostly
romantic haiku. I'd lay down 5 on a
page & I had 5 pages. I learned I could
write haiku while going through a poetry
slump. Then the poetry came back & I
couldn't write haiku again. Weird.

I've gone through phases where I couldn't write traditionally-structured rhymed poetry but could write stream-of-consciousness, and vice versa. I have similar phases in my prose writing where I can write certain genres sometimes but not others. I guess that's how the muse flows.
