Ask yourself why you use Poser. Better yet, ask yourself why you create pictures. There must be something which sparks creativity in you, else why bother? So, my guess is the urge is still there, just dormant for whatever reason. Take a leaf out of another artist's book and try to execute an image in their style. Failing that, try to execute an image in your own style but using someone else's mindset. To use myself as an example, I often create pictures which are representations of an emotional state, rather than a concrete reality. I got very heavily into surrealism and I have tried my damnedest to use its basic principles for many of my images. Another idea is to ask someone to give you a design brief. I enjoy creating images to someone else's idea. It's an entertaining challenge to make an image which someone else has thought up, and to make it appealing to them. Or, create a picture which is at a complete tangent from your usual work. Don't do anything in your usual style or content. And if all that fails, switch off the computer and do something else. You'll get the creative urge back sooner or later.
