Inspiration
Comes
From many sources:
A word
A sight
A sound
A colour
A memory
A flash,
Or gradual
Consciousness
Of an idea,
Sometimes
Arriving
Fully formed,
At others
Winding,
Twisting
Gathering momentum
And gaining ground
Like tumbleweed,
Forging
Ahead to a
Clear vision,
Or slowly
Building
Brick by brick
To a workable
Scheme,
Often arriving
Unexpectedly,
Without warning,
But always
With a sense
Of urgency.
This poem was prompted by yet another new project, arriving from nowhere by a combination of the above circumstances, and still under wraps…
I love the way you have put these words together Cathy. And I am looking forward to seeing another new project take shape in your garden. 😃
Thank you Cathy, I know you are always kind enough to comment on my poetry

Thanks Kris, I realised it’s a long time since the last one
I like the poetic picture story accompanying your poem. The words placed like steps. Lovely.

Aw, thanks Martha
Have been missing your poems which this time made me of Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’. Maybe it’s your title. Oh I wonder what you have under wraps Cathy 😄
Hold that thought Anna. .! 😉
