Where I Got the Inspiration For These 200 Poems
Where I Got the Inspiration For These 200 Poems:
To the Blessed Beauty

The sacred scriptures
reverberate through my mind,
and I meditate
upon their inner meaning
seeking to find
fresh metaphors and similes
to inscribe
in stanzas and lines.


Blog prompts rain
into my meditating soul,
merge with words
swimming in the ocean
of my spirit,
and rise into my mind
forming stanzas and lines.

Feast and Holy Day celebrations
encourage the composition
of metaphors and similes,
stanzas and lines.

A multitude of sources,
some forgotten
in the fog of yesterday,
come into play
when I compose stanzas and lines
dedicated to the Blessed Beauty.
