AARRRGGGGG!!!!
...I think i'm going slightly mad. For the past two hours I have been trying to write a poem, trying to inspire myself enough to get a few decent words down, but dear lord it isn't working. I just need a little poem, that's all i'm asking, not an epic or a sonnet, just a little poem that says something slightly meaningful - heck even meaningless as long as it sounds good at this point. But all I keep getting is as good as poop on a stick, yes you heard me, poop on a stick! AAARRRRGGGGG!!!!

Forcing a poem? Do you have an assignment? Try writing silly stuff to get your mind working. I may be wrong but you sound like you are tackling it like an essay. i was just talking to my uncle who publishes his poetry (syncrinicity:)) and I asked him how many napkins he had used for his poems. he gave me a knowing laugh and said many. I write prose via computer, poetry jumps from my head to a piece of paper at three a.m. or when i am in the shower. Try changing your pace/viewpoint and the words should come to you. :)
i used to carry a journal whenever i had crazy observations to jot down during daily life..but then forgot my journal sometimes...so then i always try to have a pen and write on anything or anybody if i have some cool revelations...sometimes i don't have a pen..oh well..
