Astrid Ferguson I just don't pressure myself. I do something else. I go for a run or a walk to let my mind race. I listen to music and I just observe life around me. Eventually it comes. You can also collaborate with other writers. I use Instagram and twitter a lot. So joining poetry groups like realistic poetry and participating in prompts helps with writers block as well.
