Your next poem is no longer a question mark, but a reality! It is always interesting how the search for inspiration never fails to bear fruit. You just start writing and suddenly you have more to say than you realized. I guess it's one of those build it and they will come type of things.

Hello, dear Nika! Part of my motive for writing a poem called MY NEXT POEM is the fear that I had already written my l-a-s-t poem. Your comment dispels that fear and instead celebrates the fruitfulness of our minds. There is no end in sight, only more to see and create. Thanks much, my friend.

i enjoyed this, daniel, recognizing the wanting to write a poem but in the waiting. it reminds me of my poem Semi-retired in Early Spring (in which i declare that the day is/was a poem) . the ideas will come to you, of that i have no doubt. -glen
