There are places in this world,
that when you are there inspire
you to do things
associated with that place.
Some are artistic and others of prayer.
I have been to both
and the validity of those words I can swear.
Once I went to Knock
the most holy place in Ireland.
A place where serenity
hangs over everything.
A feeling of something beautiful
comes over you.
That you never want to leave.
Another place is Stratford,
the birthplace of the bard.
Any would be poet,
can’t help to be inspired there.
It has to be something in the air.
Words just keep forming lines in your head,
and urge you to write them down.
Therefore, you feed your compulsion
and a new poem is found.
So if you are feeling,
the need to write, but can’t.
Go to Stratford on Avon,
and change the situation around.
You will find yourself inspired,
under the eyes of the bard,
when you follow the Shakespeare way.

Next poem: 'I found my poetic inspiration in the Pen & Parchment (at a cost of £2.95) .' Seriously, agreed with you about both Knock and Stratford... stylish penning.
Well I'm in Avon but not the one in Stratford. Went there many years ago and to Ireland when the children were young. Would like to kiss the Blarney Stone once more and go to The Cliffs of Dover amongst other places there as well. I've enjoyed my visit back with you through your poem here....thanks....marci. :)
The spirit of a place can take over you, charm and inspire you.. where this magic comes from who is to know, but Rejoice as it touches your soul..10
