Comment from Senyai
Hi Barry,
Wow, this is so lovely! I am enthralled by your effortless rhyme here. So fluid and satisfying a write that it trips off the tongue so elegantly. Enjoyed every word. Your reverie for the many attributes earth can offer for the poet who but has to look, is so true. Beauty, intrigue and mystery is all around us in so many ways.
Congratulations on your win. It is richly deserved!

Your well written poem speaks the truth. All of my inspiration comes from life itself, even the little mundane things that happen on a daily basis. Thank you for sharing and best of luck in the contest. :)

Comment from kiwisteveh
Yes, inspiration for poetry can come from anywhere. I have just published a book of humorous poems and the question I most often get asked is 'How did you come up with the ideas for so many poems?'
Sweetly rhyming piece which is almost a laundry list of some of the things that can spark us to write. As I look through it, I can almost tick off a poem I have written for each of those things...

Comment from E. Denison
This is a great, sort of "meta" entry into the rhyming contest, Barry. I like that you have deconstructed the idea of poetic inspiration and catalogued it in your work. The rhyme is light and fluid and easily propels the work forward. I think the paired image is also appropriate. Really well done. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.
