Seeking Inspiration Comments

I agree with your last line. Part of being human is risking the role of fool - a fool for love, a fool for golf (my-brother-in-law) , a fool for cats, a fool for French Silk Pie, a fool for Mozart (ME) , a fool for -, , , well, whatever catches your fancy. I liked the layers of irony in this poem. When you NEED to write a poem but aren't inspired, you have to become a POEM HUNTER (pardon the pun) and then you find the raw materials everywhere - eating a cherry tart, playing the fool, writing journal entries, writing about NOT writing. Actually, I think those of us who have been committed to writing poems and do it with sincerity and joy a-t-t-r-a-c-t the poems to us. We send out electric charges and then they swoop into our imaginations. This one did for you! !

If you are crazy, you can write better poems because poets observes and notice the difference
