Lovers of words,
What inspires poetry? This question came to me while I was working in my cube of doom. As I meditated on this, hoping that I would understand better my need to write, I tried to narrow it down to a couple elements that I feel inspire poetry.
Existence - Why are we here? Why do we exist? Is there really a God up there? (yes) Many poems are birthed about existence. I've thought of few while staring into a deep blue sky and gentle clouds.
Love - Love of self, love of another, love of an object, love a pet, love of love, loss of love, longing for love etc.
Fear - Fear of rejection, fear of pain, fear of loss, fear of things like spiders (eww, I hate em!), fear of heights, fear of speaking in front of a crowd.
I find myself often reflecting back to areas of my life that I didn't pay much attention to, as an adult I value the ability to look back on myself so that I have a promise of a better tomorrow. If I don't change daily I must not be breathing.
Life much like poetry is all about the "change."
Until we write again,
