Dan, & the activities that prepare me for poetry: walks in nature work for me and I get super inspired when I'm in the "dead zone" of concentrating on driving. I really don't understand that, but whack a poem will come flying into my head and I keep a book on the seat for hurrying up to scribble it down.
Unfortunately emotional hurts spur a poem up too, pretty quick. Sitting and just staring fixated at a spot outside is good too, like drops of water on a delicate birch tree, or watching the wind, putting yourself in someone else's shoes too or thinking like an animal or a created thing like a tree or rock.
