Inspiration

I drink myself into a bottle of Irish Whiskey and swim in drunken ideas that pass out and wake up on my page the next day with a hangover. “How did we get here?!!” they ask. I look down at my page full of ideas. They cross their arms, I cross my arms, they frown at me, I frown at them, “Who finished all the damn whiskey?!!”

Although the cliched vision of the drunken poet may still have some appeal, your talent needs no such crutch...I have always particularly enjoyed Robert Frost's opening lines in "To Earthward"...."Love at the lips was touch as sweet as I could bear; once that seemed too much -- I lived on air that crossed me from sweet things, the smell of -- was it musk -- from hidden downhill springs at dusk...." Your facility with words and ideas are impressive.
