Where?

Where do you think up most of your poems? Or even songs?

Usually I'll think of something in the shower, and after I get out I'll forget it, so I started bringing paper and a pen into the bathroom and writing it down lol

OMG same here. I've been thinking of inventing something that you can write with and on in the shower, that's waterproof. It seems it's my place of ideas that end up fading away.

I don't "think up" poems. They come to me when I am in a state of receptivity.

Songs are a different matter. They require a crafting. I have to be alone to work on the music - in the bedroom. To work on the words, I can be anywhere - In Starbucks, on a bus, in front of the computer

IdTakeABulletForYou, that is awesome lol, If you do that I'll buy at least two :P:P

Would a whiteboard work in the shower? I wonder....

The shower is an inspirational place for me too, heh heh... Otherwise I'm often prompted into poetry by being outside, or, generally anywhere late at night.

:"I don't "think up" poems. They come to me when I am in a state of receptivity.":

Agreed

I normally lay in bed with a pen and notebook.. although sometimes things come to head in like long car rides mostly songs.. and then i forget the tune or the words so i have started recording them on my phone when they come to mind so i wont foret then i can actually get them on paper with the chords and notes and such

It all depends...sometimes i can be ahvin a bad day at school so i juz sit there and i write...thtz how iget everything out iz i juz write...

Hmm. Outside, driving, or when I'm laying in bed usually.

^Agreed, I get messed up if I'm listening to music, half the time I find myself typing the lyrics to the song and then have to go back lol

I always think of stuff to write before I fall asleep. Because at night I get really emotional, but then I can't remember what I was going to write the next morning....

My work come from the heart, where ever my heart is, that is where I write. In the shower, in the car, at the computer. It does not matter. The words are like whispers in the wind that only I can hear.

When I'm sad, when I look at something inspiring, when I'm just about to go to bed, but mostely when my mind starts to wander freely without worry or guidance.

Well i think most things in the shower. and then as everyone ^^ i forget the moment i get out.

there is this waterproof pen and this board in which scubadivers (scientific ones) takes withthem to jot down notes on thier findings. but i don't remember what the items were called!

In the shower.

I just sit some where queit and peace full so i can think

In my mind, of course.

Wherever I go, I always find myself muttering random words/phrases. And that's when my notepad comes in handy.

In my mind when i am bored

Almost always when I suffer from insomnia, so my poems are written at about midnight.

I agree with Stephen.

LOL sky i think of my poems mostly sitting or just about when i'm ready to go to bed! I just wrote my new poem while trying too sleep! lol luv ya

I think of my poems at random times during the day, just something sparks it, but I write most of them down before I go to bed, it helps me slep to get everything off my chest hehe

At two in the morning. Mostly

At two in the morning. Mostly

I usually write then somethings gets to me...where ever i am weather its at my boyfriends house or in bed... or if im just thinkin about something ..and it starts to upset me then i just start writing but mostely its al night before i go to bed

When I'm on the bus, eating, or taking a bath :P

Haha, I start to think up poems randomly in the shower or in my room..So In my room I always have my computer open on a word document so I can type it down before I forget it. Hehe.

Most of my poems were written in school or on a bus when i was meant to be in school. lately though i have just been typing my poems as i think of the ideas and i find it so much better to edit them

In my head...lol in my desk while i drawing my feet..lol

Funny how most people have said otherwise, but music helps me write. In fact, lyrics are probably my biggest inspiration, not to say that I end up writing anything close to the song(s) I'm listening to. It's the emotion I get from a certain genre, artist, or a single song, that inspires me. I listen to music pretty much all the time, so a poem can pop up any time of the day...but nights, I find, are a better time for writing. Oh, and of course I come up with a crap load of lyrics and poems in the shower. Duh.
