what would you choose to replace it?
i enjoy making things so maybe pottery, my problem is, i get bored easily, everything i've tried i gave up once i got reasonably good at it. poetry must be something i can't get good at  i love cooking so maybe i'd cook more.
I'd like to be a family person, and cook, and even wash dishes....I've been most of the unreasonable things: an actor, a singer, a musician, a painter, a wrestler, a magician, an adventurer, a philosopher, a novelist, even a vampire-hunter (when I was much younger). I've thought about being a doctor, or even a preacher. One time I even wrote the script and design for a video game....But all those are solitary pursuits

So you would like to cook and even do dishes? Wow, my kind of guy!
Even I wasnt writing poetry I would still write short stories or children's book or maybe even a novel (if I were being ambitious) I'm also fond of arts and crafts like painting and scrapbooking. I wouldn't mind learning how to do pottery.

I never understood fly-fishing. How do you do it?

basically you need a river with fish in it
instead of the usual type of line and reel you use a shorter thicker line, with a fine piece of line at the end which is attached to a hook (this is called a leader) waving the rod back and forth (it's not as simple as that) you release a little more line each time the idea is to make the fly dance on the top of water just in front of a trout or salmon. (the flies imitate the flies you get in nature, such as mayfly, damsil fly etc.

Sounds complicated and too much work, but I might have to try and see how it goes.

It's not that much work, it's almost always accompanied by beer 
I love fishing as well, I'm just very bad at it... but then, if I don't catch anything I don't have to gut anything... and it's still been a day spent outdoors with nature for company.

It's always nice to get away, but I don't go expecting to catch dinner because like you I'm also bad at it. It's all for the beer and laughs.

I'd probably be in jail for offing my roommates in my 20s. Without poetry at that time my hobbies would have been drinking and rage.
My in-prison hobbies would likely be: license plate making, making shivs from common items, working out, and smoking.

If I avoided prison I would probably just try to think up more fun things to do with my three year old son (fishing, make pinewood derby cars, games, etc).

A word of advice: Don't teach a three year old to make shivs...

You don't need to teach them it's inborn.

like poetry fly fishing is an art form. i could drop a fly on a two inch spot 30 yards away. and do the same thing over and over. but i had a lot of practice.

If I wasn't into poetry I would probably get the work that I'm supposed to do done. It would be much less interesting really.
If something happens and you can remedy it, Why worry?
And if something happens that you can't remedy, Still why worry?

Well, if not poetry, then maybe prose. If no prose, then handicrafts, or singing, or heck I can't imagine my life without literature.
Back!
