Hi Michelle, Sometimes I'm prompted by what I read - tonight's poem, for example, was inspired by the Schweitzer quote, combined with my emotional responses to nature on my daily walks. I think for me it comes down to paying attention to life when it seems the rest of the world is asleep to its beauties and truths - which is why my post tags always end with 'love life'. A poem may be a complaint, but often it's a celebration or at the very least a recognition of some significant experience, at least, to me :)
