It's a shame poetry isn't more popular. However, I've never gotten into it either.
These days my commute to work takes all the energy out of me and combined with the summer heat, I am too lazy to do much of anything when I get home.
Maybe I'll switch jobs eventually or move closer to work and find myself with more free time to focus on new skills.
The people who got a lot of work from home time are very fortunate if they managed to avoid going crazy.
