Where Does Your Inspiration Come From???

When writing poetry, where does your inspiration come from??

 

There is an inner resavoir
The name is not the thing
Inspired poets all will say
Just let the spirit sing.

 

How Poetry Comes to Me[size=-1] [/size]
[size=-1]
It comes blundering over the
Boulders at night, it stays
Frightened outside the
Range of my campfire
I go to meet it at the
Edge of the light

I believe it must be from a greater plane of conciousness,
cuz there it is suddenly
and my hand races to keep up
with the words
spilling from my mind
then im utterly
spent

 

Mine comes from nature and everyday experiences...I love how poetry can make the ordinary seem beautiful.

 

nevermind

 

Did you lose your thought?

 

no I had one then, I had an epiphany that could change where I get my inspiration, and since I have nothing written under my new inspiration, I don't want to post

I'm soo complicated...but hey, it's all a part of my growing up.

 

my tables get turned a lot... sometimes it can be frusterating

 

Hmm...that does sound complicated.

 

i get inspired of all kind of things...a girl in my class makes me often pissed of so she's mostly the reason for my angry poems..*lol* she doesn't know, but i really don't like her and then poetry is a nice way of getting that feelng out

else from that it can be things like the weather, a candle, just anything...i love life and the world so i take all the beauty i can find and try to use it in something...

luv

 

You! And you. You too. And you. And if you think you’re inspiring, you’re right. You are inspiring. Yes, you are too, and so are you.
(not you)
But you? Yes! How could I forget you?
Beats me.
Like perspiration, the act of inhaling, inspiration a natural body process?

 

absolute love and utter heartbreak.
