Even though I like the poem, I must say that its list is actually an
excellent one to use when writing poems (or whatever). The trick
(IMHO twice) isn't in the selection of subject matter. Common subjects
are common because they efficiently describe our collective concepts
of reality (no matter how erroneous). The trick is in making these
subjects seem interesting and original when, in reality, they aren't.
(This, BTW, is pretty much the definition of "good writer".)
