I feel as though I had been kidnapped
and locked away in thoughts,
too heavy to allow the moodiness
to escape and free me to express
the borders of this empty room.

I use the titles and thoughts of others
to unlock the mystery of words
that hold the hunger of the chase,
endearing me to this chill of the winds
that have brought me here today.

I have been open to the closures
that had been on the horizon, yet,
am healing to the challenge
from this brink of boredom,
to feeling truly alive again.

(Thank you, poets)

Yes using titles or even the last line of a poem can ignite the spark. Nice to see your name on the blue page dear one...HUGSS

We, one and all, should thank the poets we read and the poetry they write that presents us with a spark of an idea, M. Like Victoria I, too have used the last words of poetry to kick-start another poem for me.

Thank you, Jerry.  I have been trying to post  some words for awhile now, but I also have been going through all my poems from here...well over 2000 and am trying to organize them for myself and some seem like they came from some other mind. I smile alot when reading them as they bring back over  12 years of memories on here.

I am always amazed how your inspiration allows you to arrange so perfectly well snippets of sentences into a great, meaningful poem.

Happy for you for the good news you received.

Hugs.

Margherita , Thank you for reading and your kind response. I've had a very boring  6-7 months or so stuck home mostly due to colitis and finally am able to have some normalcy return.  I felt those thoughts of others and they inspired me to be more productive wordwise.

Just taught my 3rd day. Kids always perk me up, especially when they remember my name!

Lori, Thanks so much. I am always happy to see your name here and hope you are doing well.

Hugs

As usual my day brightens when I read you, my friend, and it fairly glowed after reading this...

A heart-hug from me to you...
