The bottom line is don't stop writing
Listen to what you described in those three poems and just keep doing it. If the words are there, then write them down. I'm not the kind of poet who can write something new everyday. If you are, consider it a blessing (and a curse) and just keep going. Keep up the good work!

I hate my computer...
What I was going to say in the last comment was that I've almost never written poetry by itself. I enjoy reading a series or grouping together. I like how a single idea can produce a number of others. My work (for some odd reason) comes in groups of six. When I first started writing, I even gave the grouping it's own title as if to suggest that's how they would be published. I usually end up writing one piece, and then I just get drawn into a single line or idea in that poem that becomes another. Sometimes, I even steal the exact phrase from myself as the new title. I have no doubt that The Limited Ones or Temporus Stasi (two of my most recent in the same vein) will produce others. In some ways, it makes it easier to start writing, though the original idea sometimes snowballs into something altogether different. Such is poetry and prose...
