This is a condition that could be a temporary inability to compose or a 'burnout' condition that poet's experience.

Arab critics investigated the causes of this condition and wrote about ways of overcoming it.

They instructed poets on how to get stimulation and relief from the psychological pressures within.

They advised them to "lay their minds quite like milk before the cream will rise".

Furthermore, they advised poets to seek solitude, an appropriate time and place, that would give them the utmost power of meditation and concentration.

They recommended that poets go for a walk and let their eyes wander about in nature and breathe fresh air to stimulate the inner mind and spirit.
