Meeting Outline 4-21-02

At this meeting we explored the poetry writing process.  We wrote poems that contained the following lines in them.

When I met inspiration...

And now I've found...

And inspiration is still...

Then we made a drawing of some aspect of the poem and presented it to the group.

Gary;  What is left over time?

 

When I met inspiration... I was young and foolish The world seemed a simple place Time was longer then When I met inspiration   And now I've found... Today, life seems so short I am no longer young And now I've found Time will not suffer fools   And inspiration still gives me... I seek meaning that remains When illusions all are lost And inspiration still gives me The means to pay the cost.

Joan;  Working on art that will remain

 

When I met inspiration... my mind was open and my heart was willing- When I met inspiration the time seem available and the sun took forever to set when I met inspiration the temperatures were warm and the sweet smell of eucalyptus  filled the air when I met inspiration the wildness of the moment took over my body   And now that I've found inspiration I want to keep going and not worry about balance and now that I've found inspiration I want there to be no beginning and no end Can I go forever enriching my life without stopping? Can this feeling fill every crevice of my being? Where would my journey end?   And inspiration still gives me... some place to go Maybe I can not be with inspiration all the time Perhaps stopping by and sitting with inspiration is enough Finding myself in close proximity of the energy, the intuition, the new ideas and possible directions that can give me a map to follow. Yes even though my conversations with inspiration may cease, my art will travel on

Sandra;  What is the the hope of new found inspiration?

 

When I met inspiration... My arms dropped to my side I took a deep breath of the intoxication overwhelm!   And now I've found energy big dreams and little projects, a start a stop, a completion, a new beginning.   And inspiration is still around every corner when I want it, But The hope of new found inspiration gives me inspiration.

Edwin;  What brings the bite of  inspiration?
