How do ideas or thoughts to write come to you? Do they come in……
Like a thunder out of the blue, in a flash
and keys type in, at lightning speed?
Like the burning desert sand, under the scorching sun
the thoughts , vent out ,seething ire?
Like the caress of the halcyon zephyr in the azure sky
the thoughts compose beautiful verses of love?
Like the serene waters in deep meditative trance
the words seek to find an answer, beyond cosmic realm?
Like the dull foreboding grey monotone sky
the writings spill out melancholic odes?
Like a long forgotten idea in hibernation
thawed by the warm sunshine, blossoming into a beautiful poetry?
Like the sultry moonlight between the glitterati of twinkling stars
igniting an ardent passion of words, culminating in a union?
Like the downpour from the heavenly skies, nurturing life,
your thoughts ink to inspire and motivate mankind?
How do thoughts and ideas to write, come to you? Do share.
What to say you’ve already mentioned all the reasons in a superb manner😅

Radhika you have done a superb work with thoughts that pour in and we feel like writing poems or stories. You are a great writer yourself and with me too on a good topic a poem will sometimes flow and I then jot it down and my poetry too flows. A beautiful poem.

You’ve truly captured the magic, uniqueness and wonder of creativity! I think I relate most to your example of “the burning desert sand, under the scorching sun the thoughts, vent out, seething ire”. I’m going to need to record that passage in my diary 🙂

Thanks Ekaterina. I am humbled. Definitely the strong emotions and anger needs to be translated into words to influence people to ignite a spark in them for a greater good.

A good question, Radhika. It actually set me thinking of the various ways possible, which you have beautifully showcased.
I guess, for me my thoughts go through the grind in my brain, sometimes hibernate and then flow out, but when they do, they pose differently than what I expected of them within me 😀
