What Inspires Us

What really inspires us? What do we write about? Is it something inside us? Desperate to get out… Are the words all in there? Just waiting for release Do we need attention? Does it have to be a masterpiece? Some find love inspires Others find inspiration in hate Some find it in nature Some think it is just fate. There are some that know not why they write There are others that wouldn’t want too To those that struggle sometimes I say please do not worry, don’t be blue. The words will come to you And remember there’s no hurry Just wait a while be patient There is no reason to worry. You will suddenly find one day That all your poetic abilities burst forth Your pen will leave a smoke trail And there will be no stopping you henceforth So take your time relax There is more to life than words Don’t let them your brain tax Cos that would be absurd. You have it in you to inspire others To place the paper under the pen And when you read what you inspired You will take up the pen again. © 21/01/2013 ~GG~

Write on Mandy! I really like what you said about each one of us having the ability to inspite - too often people sit down and wait for inspiration instead of focusing on the gifts they already have. Well penned - definitely a call for action.

Mandy a grate poem that has inspired all who write. Our minds go blank, or fatigued and nothing. A divine influence is needed at times to fire-up out neurons. Thanks for your poem that is reality for all of us here at one time or another. Warm Smiles Always, Connie

I like this Mandy and it describes my writing experience. I started late in life and after I had a few words of appreciation I have been a writing maniac. Thank you for your kind words about my "False Lover". I wrote it for a contest in an involved rhyme form and not my usual style. Thanks for your encouragement. Love, Joyce
