        <description><![CDATA[ThePoeticPharaoh is a blog that was a long time in the making.

Though I obsess sometimes over routines, it might be a good idea to take a step back.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b424f69e96de" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/thepoeticpharaoh/taking-a-pause-from-poetry-b424f69e96de">Taking a Pause from Poetry</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/thepoeticpharaoh">ThePoeticPharaoh</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
