Question:

If you write poems from what do you derive inspiration?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You can get inspired by crazy things--I'm usually listening to music that I really like, and the mood of the music prompts me to write something. It could also be experiencing an intense emotion, and I just go with it and put it on paper. I try to put myself in positions to be inspired by paying attention to connections, odd ideas, things like that.
