And the Poet Writes On

The poet sat perplexed at the moving of the pen Was he writing prose of was it poetry again? Verse by verse it poured on out It seemed to him a silent shout Descriptive words, symphony and vibrant light Reach out expressively, he knew he had to write It wasn’t just some wayward words that streaked forth from his pen He knew that he had written poetry again

Thank you for your nice comment. Inspiration comes most anywhere. I once wrote 20 poems, mostly haiku, while waiting in a doctor's office. Sometimes it is just a bird, a tree, a friend you see. Just remember it all comes from your heart. May the Lord bless you with the inspiration you need.
