I don't know why, but I always seem to get inspiration while driving. It is this time where I can just zone out and take everything in without interruption. I usually spend this hour drive home every night just spouting off whatever pops into my mind. Here I'm not concerned with having all the right answers or having everything just right. Today I came up with this.
My weak knees portray a portrait of a coward
As my resolve crumbles beneath your grasp.
Drowning in the depth of your brown eyes
My hallow insides unmasked by your lies
The smudges of your fingertips erase again.
Just wondering, what inspires everyone else? Where does your material come from?
Most of my material comes from my past experiences, and my memories. So, I feel like those who have gone through a lot of life changes or experiences have a lot of material to work with. Anyone agree? As far as when the poem comes to me... it depends. Sometimes it's when I'm having a bad day, and others when I'm just walking or sitting around. All of a sudden I remember something that I don't want to forget or a specific moment in which I felt something and really memorized the way it felt to me in an artsy kind of way. When I think of these moments its easy for me to write about them because of the memory.
