Thanks For the Idea Hank

I read a poem of Hank’s and something caught me happy Suddenly my own poem came flipping out of my mind. She skidded down my nose and skipped onto the page, slip slappy. I watched her progress; she was a marvelous new find. The pig has flown, she said with a laugh. Shown, hone, cone, bone. I would have to be an idiot not to follow her creative thinking. Loan, groan, tone, zone I whispered; I wrote down pinecone and alone. Let’s get it on paper quickly she urged me, her hazel eyes still winking.

I've been inspired many times Caren, it only takes a random spark to fire up your muse. Tom

You're welcome, Caren. I can't tell you how many times you have fed my muse. Anytime I write of faeries or other-worldly creatures, you can be sure I had you in mind.

Your muse knows a good thing when she spies it! It's great fun when the poem of another sparks a thought to write our own.
