I can honestly answer I just start writing and it just comes out that way. Sometimes words come to me in my sleep, which I need to put to paper immediately, mini flashlight in hand then and there in the middle of the night. Other times I put pen to paper, and with inspiration or not, a simple or complex idea and just happens. A Mr. Cronkite put it, “That’s the way it is” and as ridiculous as that may sound to some, but I’m not really concerned with those critics. People may believe that or not, but then the question would arise, just what does it take to make one a writer or poet anyway? There are as many answers to that as there are writers and poets, as different as the people themselves, There are no set rules to all of this, which is the reason I love it so. No particular time or place for inspiration to come as it happens to everyone, just some are able to capture that thought or idea ... to seize the moment, so to speak while most let the moment slip by, and just as easily as these thoughts come, they are forgotten just as easily, most likely gone onto that place where unwritten words go.view less
