Inspiration....?

How do you get inspired?I mean,has it ever occured to you,to walk down a street or being in a place and suddenly a picture not many people would notice ti bring words in your head?
Write here inspirations of that kind you had, maybe the phrase it brought to mind, or even the poem you wrote afterwards so that I can read it myself:)
But please explain the meaning behind it and your feelings on it

Do you mean how I get inspired to write a certain poem?

Or, atleast i do this sometimes, i close my eyes and think. Think about stuff. Soon enough I have words to put on paper.

LOVE is my greatest inspiration. People inspire me as well.. people that I admire or even people i see on the streets that bring some emotion to me. My inspiration also comes from the.. well it's hard to explain. lol i could be anywhere doing anything at anytime and a phrase or something would just pop into my head and that's sometimes how I get my greatest poems. But with that idea, i usually develop the whole poem by experience and the feelings that i have about a certain person or a certain idea.

Kelly and gina cought the meaning of what I saying!Like the violin kelly mentioned,things like that.
For example, I once saw a ship, sank in the harbour, and it stroke so strange to me...I thought "It should have sunk out there,to the glory of the ocean" but I never managed to put it succesfully into words...Or once I saw a person lying on the floor after use of drugs, and shadows of passer's by that shaded him.I immediately thought about the train that would lead him and his shadows to deliverance,and that's how I wrote my poem "Meet me in the final train"

Anyone who's willing to talk about such inspirations, is welcome to post the poem he/she wrote on them, so that the others can read it too!

inspiration finds me when i do not seek it

now for instance, i decided to write a poem using the sentence above as a beginning.

I often get inspired when i walk through Norwegian nature at night...it can be really beautiful and mysterious...thats how i came up with "The Nights of the Lost Song", among others...

PAIN=INSPIRATION

*~peace and love~*

Inspiration is everything and everything is inspiration with imagination :o)

Ooo! i like this question. Inspiration hits you at the wierdest times. Like i was sat in my biology exam this afternoon and trying to answer a question on the way the heart works when i started thinking about how people see the heart in different ways. It keeps you alive even when your sure it's broken in two. I'm ashamed to say i scribbled rhymes all over my exam... lol. Oh well, maybe whoever marks it will give me extra marks for creativity. Anyhoo, inspiration depends on how you look at things, if you have an open mind, the pen your writing with can inspire you. Hmm, my bedroom door is inspiring me right now... think of the possibilities... Lol. Lotsa luv, Gem xxx

Oh!Once, I drew bees and flowers on my exam paper:P But that was just because I did not know what else to write:P

Yes, maybe, or even when you finally understand, and it's too late...However my best inspiration in the field of spoken words, is the phrases that I misunderstand and think of metaphorical, because I'm not usually paying attention

Sometimes it feels like it's so much pain, so many memories. as if it's what it's all about-friends.Where you've gone so far, what you have achieved. I come to accept that in the end, all is a passing thing, and many things will change since I for exaple, am only 17 years old. In a year, I'll be in univercity. Friends, hopes, dreams, will change.MAy fade also. It's hard to accept. Only a few things last in this world
