The Poet Thief Poem by Matthew Holloway
The Poet Thief
Ideas come in moments
spoken or heard or witnessed
some stay dormant
in the back draw of the mind
waiting to become
something else
wanting to become a poem
sometimes
overheard conversations
begin that process
birth a poem
as though stolen
by a thief
armed with a pen
That is exactly how poems are born.....so steal away those moments that inspire my friend. Our life experiences are those that make us inspired to write! I like the theme of this!
thank you, poetic inspiration is a varied and wonderful buffet of which i will continue to fill my plate
You are right. Ideas may come from anywhere, at anytime to be put down as poems. Even from conversation of people. Nice poem. Enjoyed.
thank you, the inspiration aspect of writing can feel like theft at times

I have to agree, I often find ideas when in a public setting listening to the sounds around me; radio, tv or even people talking!
It must be a poet thing as I try and hold onto little moments or conversations to feed my poems
