As I have previously discussed, I have found myself at the conceptual crossroads in regards to the project. This, coupled with unrelated tasks I've had to complete over the summer, have left me with a definite, frustrating writer's block, to the extent that even considering the EPQ in casual thought has given me a minor migraine. Therefore, I've decided to take the fourth option: discarding the theme of grief and emotions, but keeping the core of composing poems.
I'm considering looking at Romantic-era poetry (an interest of mine) for its pastoral, environmental nature, as I hope a family coach trip to Yorkshire should serve as an inspiration, if not a starting point. On the other hand, I could look at the broader theme of nature poetry, encompassing poets from a variety of eras instead.
While I've been neglectful - to which I find myself self-deriding due to this - I hope that altering the theme to something I have a previous interest in should up my morale. Hopefully I can catch up on the MOOC all the while.
