As a child I wrote poetry.
As I got older, I got too “cool” for such things.
At the age of 40 I finally got over myself, grew up and realized that what is important, is what I think, and what I want.
I have no idea where the inspiration for a poem comes from or when such inspiration is likely to arrive. I've never been one to "sit down and write" hoping to have something to say. Instead I write when I get an idea. The ideas come to me any time of day or night, sometimes as a whole poem, other times its just a pair of lines, or a certain rhythm. No matter what for it presents itself in though, if I don't sit down to write it right away, its lost. I've had periods of time, months on end even, where I have been bombarded with ideas and written several poems every day, and I have gone months without writing anything. Such is poetry I guess.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy at least some of what you read.
Namaste
