You're absolutely right, Jim. The creative process is a shared one - ideas, thoughts, impressions floating around in the ether to be picked up by the right mind when the moment is ripe and transformed onto the page. Who is it who said there are no original ideas and yet every idea is original? Very wise words in this one. love, Allie xxxx

Jim, I hope all is fine with you....., this is a nice writing, and you make a very valid point, but they're are always some exceptions and though I don't like to boast, besides many other fine writers on the PoemHunter site, please check out a few of my latest. Most of them are concepts that have never been done or attempted by anyone. Best regards, T.M.. PS, I also totally realize that no one wants to write some of the ridiculous creations and silly stuff I write.

some of the best poems, never got written or published. 'too late' arrived and buried them with the poet. that's why the cemetery has so much buried treasure.
