Where Do You Get Your Ideas From?
Where Do You Get Your Ideas From?
From the space between my ears
from the world behind my eyes
from delving deep inside me
where inspiration lies
From memories that haunt me
from things I hear and see
from mystical concoctions
of fact and fantasy
From words that come and find me
from dreaming hard and long
from life and books and music
my poems: that’s where they’re from
