An Example of Where I Get Ideas for New Poems

In this blog I provide a link to a blog post in which I explain the idea and sources of inspiration behind my latest poem "The Roar of the Lion".

People frequently ask me where I get all the ideas for my poetry, especially since I have a prolific output over the years. (My first poetry collection/book in 2003 contained about 175 storoems/poems; my second book in 2005 had about 150 new storoems/poems; and my latest book in 2008 had 82 new storoems/poems. I currently have 49 new storoems/poems on hand toward the next book. That totals over 450 storoems/poems since 2001.) I explain in my latest blog post
( http://harrygillelandwrites.blogspot.com/ ) the sources of inspiration behind the idea for my latest poem. You hopefully will find it informative.

Cheers!
