Its cliche but its usually matter of the heart. Weither its from seeing a grandparent or a love intrest, to me everything I write comes from love.
I never know what’s going to inspire me to write a poem, until I see/hear/read/feel it for the first time! It could be anything!
when I’m driving
I usually write down all of the ideas floating around in my head and find meaning from one or a few. Then i draw from my experiences and those of others. It’s very relaxing, you can get your muse from any and everything. Anyone can write it just takes patience and a passion for it.
They write themselves..My troubled left temporal lobe dissects the world around me and the end product sometimes makes it to paper..VOILA !!!
It’s a bit like composing a good photograph - you see an image, then twist it a little with your imagination, and give it a new perspective, and it converts prose to poetry. Well that’s how it works for me, but I haven’t written anything in English for a long time. Maybe after this question, I may just try my hand at it again…
But of course, never forget that the inspiration of all great poetry is always some kind of emotional upheaval - momentous or momentary…
my muse finds me…sometimes at inconvenient times
I’VE STRUGGLED WITH SEVER DEPRESSION MOST MY LIFE. TO THIS DAY I CANT SIT DOWN AND WRITE A HAPPY POEM. ITS THE DEEP DARK HAUNTING EMOTIONS THAT RULED MY LIFE THAT INSPIRES ME. THAT’S WHAT IS REAL IN MY HEART AND WHAT I NEED TO GET OUT BY PUTTING IT ON PAPER.
I’m not a truepoet so I usually find mine on the loo, or the toilet or whichever you choose to call it. It is the only place I can find enough solace or privacy. Everywhere else someone is calling my name or looking for me. I write on whatever my heart or mind calls out to me. I also sometimes get inspired in the middle of the night….or in the middle of cooking dinner…always at a very inconvient time to sit down and write the words.
Peace Love
Anywhere that I can be left alone to think is when I write my poetry. I get an idea from a fragment of truth, and then sit a while and think on it and wonder what I can make of it. Most of the time I cant think of anything useful. Sometimes though, it ends up not even with the original plan I had for it. For example, one of my most recent poems was inspired by when I went to visit my father, who lives near the beach. I went to the beach every single day, and so when I went back to where I live now, 5 hours away from the beach, I wanted to go to the sea again. So I originally wrote about that, but ended up twisting it into a metaphor instead. Other times I take my favourite line from a good book and use it and maybe some of the storyline to create a new poem again. It all depends on my mood really, for where I get inspiration.
