Puzzling Over Inspiration Comments

Poetic inspiration is a bit of a mystery and I agree that Cigeng has been blessed with inspiration, talent, and the drive to continue to write.

Dear Daniel, you honored me with your kind poem. I am glad you mentioned Li Po, Tu Fu, whose influence in the poetry world has been great. True, they also influenced me a lot. From primary school, we learned to recite Tang poems. Now we write under the aura of the classical and modern poetic skies. “Yes, the light is yours”. Also, The light is ours. The joy of a poet is the free release from the heart. The most genuine feeling inspires the poet. Passion, goes to poem. The poets’ luck is they know how to convert the inspiration to a beautiful verse. Thank you so much for the poem on the theme of “inspiration” that is the basic source for writing.
