Moving

To all my followers, if indeed you do exist, I am discontinuing this blog. You can read my poems at Hello Poetry (http://hellopoetry.com/jon-gilbert/).

Inspiration

Where does inspiration come from?
From me? From you?
From the moon? From the stars?
From the divinity? From humanity?

Where does inspiration come from?

From awareness.

From interactions.

From everything.

Sitting Alone, Drinking

Sit alone.
Take a sip.

Lean back
Take a sip.

Enjoy the shade.
Take a sip.

Look around.
Take a sip.

Pet the dog.
Take a sip.

Sit alone,
take a sip,
and drink beer.

Perfection

I do not want to write

a perfect poem.

I do want to express

my feelings and ideas.

My perfect poem would be

thoughtful and sensitive.

My perfect poem would be

bold and exciting.

My perfect poem would express

my feelings and ideas.

I do not want to write with

perfect form.

I do want to write

a perfect poem.
