Where do your poem ideas originate?

Easy answer: Any source that inspires a poem.




 Death knocked upon the door.

The workman stood most weary;

Tired and spent without rest from labor dark and dreary.


Just one more thing he had to do:

Answer the knock upon his door.

One thought on “Where do your poem ideas originate?

  1. I often start with a sentence that forms in my head usually because I’ve seen or heard something that really moved me. I repeat those words over and over. If I like the sound of them, I build the poem around that sentence. Sometimes its the beginning but more often its the middle.
