INTOXICATING INSPIRATION

All I need is inspiration, To write poetry every morning As the sun is dawning. All is I need is dedication, To write poetry every evening, And even when I’m sleeping. All I need is my heart beating, To write poetry with a passion, In any style or fashion, I write a poem on just a whim, And go out on a limb, I the beholder see beauty in everything. I can write alliteration, And careful of misinformation, I write love poems with flirtation, With careful deliberation, Striving towards fair direction, Love our poetic generation. My muse eager to co-operate, As we generate and contemplate, And meaningfully corroborate. Should I not be happy with my poem, With its title, content, or a name, I move to a process of elimination, Poetry my passion and intoxication.

Jennifer, this is so well thought out and produced! Different things do inspire us...I was just invited to a retirement celebration (I myself am retired as of this year). The person wrote odes to different employees and for different events over her career, so I wrote her a poem, which will hopefully get presented at her retirement party. All fun stuff!

Hello my dear friend, I felt your poem is both a tribute to the muse and an insight into your relationship with your work. It’s a joyful manifesto, expressing poetry as a natural, daily ritual that fulfills both the poet’s spirit and creativity. This genuine passion is likely to resonate with anyone who finds beauty in words, offering a glimpse into the joy of being a “beholder” who sees inspiration everywhere.

Write, write often. Please don't do it like me. I felt depressed, and for a few days, I stopped writing. I love your poetry. Hugs.

Hi dear Jen, this is so heart warming and inspiring. The inspiration, I assume to write poems, come to you in fits and starts. These days, I feel your are too driven by an urge to write and your output has considerably increased. After reading your poem I too am fueled with an inspiration to write more. On some days, it becomes a mad drive that I leave aside everything and wait for my muse to possess me. "My muse eager to co-operate, As we generate and contemplate, And meaningfully corroborate." Love these lines. Hugs and blessings, dear one.
