Where doesn't it?

<smile>
I mean, sometimes I hear a turn of a phrase, or a snatch of dialogue--even a bit of a musical line--and it invokes a feeling or a memory and I just have to jot something down about it.

The other senses have their moments as well. Plus you have all the various people, places, events, and experiences that have come up in my life--they all have their role in forming whatever I manage to put down to paper or screen.

Friends, family, lovers ~ Life!

Anything and eveything, the smallest spark of something can trigger my creativity!

Something I read
Something I know
Something I feel
Something I see
Something I share
Something I want
Another person
Another place
Another time
Another poem
Another poet


And sometimes shit just pops out of nowhere into my foolish brainless.....

From toenail clippings. Or from somewhere less exciting.
Some dramatic event in life. Some extreme emotion.
Life told by old folks or whispered by someone slumbering.
Out walking and a poem is just there. Just there.
I'll hear a mushroom or see the color of mundane.

 

[ruminator]

It goes against all of my core principles but I have to admit...


Wal-Mart.

What can I say? It intrigues the evil in me.

Dark forces lurk there.........usually near the changing rooms....close to the decadence of Lowe's or Home Depot.

Most of my inspiration comes directly from experience and relationships and quite a lot from reading. Even when I write poems about what I have read and learnt there are usually references to people I know in them. Most people have an interesting life if they just stop to analyse it. My latest poem for example Meat was inspired in a workman's cafe in London, nothing special about the place at first siight but it got me making associations with experience and people I know.

However I suppose a lot of my recent poems take the form they do because I try to capture a conversation I have with myself and I'm trying to create a narrative thrust while keeping in the images relelatively dense as in poetry which also determines the form the poem takes I suppose. Though I'm primarily interested in a psychological resonance than the actual form a poem takes.

You must be frightfully young to not yet fully know the eroticism of toenail clippings. Though, clippings are for the novice. I've moved past that to the hardcore, toenail chewing--which is a bit of a nervous habit.

Really? Evil and dark forces? That's inspiring! Write a poem about your devilish self.

From anywhere you can think of.

before or after they have been clipped?
(checking to see if this is perversion or fetish, as if I know what either means)

and the sick sick thing is toe nail clippings are quite the creative process when you have 2 boys who HATE the process, so I have to invent new and exciting reasons for them to be clipped.

Eve, you will have to take care of them when they are over 18.

I did it, but you'll have to hunt for it.

...it's pretty pg13 rated....I should do another version with much bending, stooping, leaning and quite possibly a quickie inside one of the tents on display in Sporting Goods.


Hey, you think I'm odd? Countdown on MSNBC is going to have a segment on toe wrasslin......could be a nice little orgasmer.

 

[annaswirls]

sometimes I hear a turn of a phrase, or a snatch of dialogue

damn! My snatch speaks but rarely is involved in an actual dialogue!

And usually when its mouth is full so no one can understand it anyway.

Lends new meaning to the phrase tongue in cheek doesn't it?



sorry, couldn't resist.

toe wrasslin? Get your pants off! Those are f...ing words. (Sometimes, I just can't bring myself to type that word out. No. Not farting or whatever else you people will come up with.)

Is that suppose to be as naughty as it sounds?

I'll have to go look now. That's been somewhat of a wild fantasy for me.

yeah but tongue in cheek is a completely different maneuver
(and one in which you hope nothing speaks)

well you know, what is supposed to be and what is around here seldom meet.

My friend and I used to have Pam and Jenn's All Boob Quartet.

but I think I wrote about that already.
