Man of many resources
what were those early courses
sought to keep yourself inspired
through open channels conspired

To outwit schoolmates that sat beside
to outplay workmates on whom you relied
to outdo the neighbour with patio space
to outrun him smartly and still save face.

Inspiration for the lungs we need to fill
novel ideas spark as fools roll downhill
man of countless, many resources
have you ever checked your sources?

Were your conditioned to impress
swell when you hit instant success?..
from source notes captured,
were you entralled, enraptured?
but if your source came from the first book
were you ever there to have a first look?


Inspiration, more than breaths of fresh air
works independent of fact or fiction
pronounciation and language diction
is that fair?

I think its fair, Martin...
especially as a poet.  Where would we be without inspiration?  
Actually, now that I think about it...every invention from the telephone to the automobile to the airplane to the rockets which blast into space....all of these are products of inspiration.

I love this thought provoking poem...
Its extremely well done.

Hello Martin.
This one got by me...well worth another go round. Exceptional thoughts...
Inspiration is a divine right...but the fruit that it gathers...that is the question.
Best Regards, ThisDiamond
