The Well of Inspiration

I went to the Well For inspiration My days had been filled With my frustration I wanted easy A mind vacation The well consisted Of perspiration So there's no shortcuts Just realization I add my own sweat With my creations So off to the grind New expectations With new perspective Gained inspiration

I keep going to the well, but these days it's dry. Maybe I need some of that perspiration you talk about. daver

A very fine poem for inspiration. Poets know a lot about it. A fine line between it and frustration! Great work! If I may, I think your previous avatar better inspired!

Wherever you trod, there is mutation.. Amid the trees and all plantation... So use your soul for a better navigation... The sky has not once set a limitation!! Lovely poem!
