What makes you poetic?

[Ms.C]

Artdude and Abracadabra, you are great!

[Trillian]

Opera is usually what I listen to, but I also listen to most other music varying from heavy metal rock, country, or jazz. I guess it all depends on the emotions I want to portray in my poem.

What kind of music?

What makes me poetic is music, and the things I experience everyday.

[Russellc]

experiences in life and crush on some one ie.,love makes you poetic

[Josiewhitehead]

I'm not sure if you mean what makes you want to write poetry? I have just written about 850, if not more, poems in the last five years and many things make me "poetic". First of all the children in my local primary school told me they loved poems written with rhyme and rhythm, especially if they have stories. So I started writing in this way for them then, and often they brought in the topics. To be honest - and you will laugh I am sure - but I know I have a poetry muse. It is when I am least expecting it that words start to form in my mind and it doesn't take me long usually to write a poem. So my muse makes me poetic. Do come to my website and see some of my many poems, many of which have been published. There are only a small number there though, ha ha.

I honestly have no idea what makes me poetic...I can go days without writing anything, then several pour from my brain, recently I have written more about my childhood...does that come with age, who knows, but I had an urge to record my memories of early childhood in London. Here is one of them

The Newspaper Seller

London Evening Standard is what he used to cry,
His welcoming grin demanding you to buy.
Standing on the Banks corner in all sorts of weather
You wondered what the notice board would say and whether..
It would be what had really hit the news and who was still together.
He always had a cheerful word for both regulars and casuals
and often came out with his favourite jokes
He really was a cheerful bloke.
He never minded taking time as long as he sold the lot
Despite sales being unpredictable it was his own little spot.
Coming prepared with a large thermos full of coffee and a cup
His wife made sure he had a magnificent sarnie pack up.
Although he is long gone now the corner still echoes with his cries..
"Come on folks Evening Standard for you to buy

Does anyone else get poetic moods like me

[TikkeUmlanapar]

there is a place near my grandparents farm. there i relax feel the breeze and forget the world around me. thats the time poet inside me comes out.

[Ghastlies]

i guess it's whenever i'm at my extremes (which is hardly, though). like whenever i'm extremely irritated at somebody or a group of people or the whole world actually, or whenever i'm feeling extremely gay and vibrant and hyper that everything is going my way.

i also feel poetic whenever i read great works of others. it inspires me to write.

Nature, Music.

[Robin jackson]

What makes me poetic is the................Beauty of nature.......

[anisha_astrologer]

it depends from individual to individual that what makes them poetic. in my case it is my daily experience with life that makes me poetic.

[petercover]

Love makes me poetic

[GL_Mcee1790]

Me when i am lonely and broken heart when i feel that kind of emotion i always write it..

[kbjones24]

music, being sad, being really happy, witnessing something inspiring... all sorts of things

[Genaaa]

I think it all depends on the person and the type of poem. As beauty is subjective, I think who finds what poetic is also subjective in a way.

[Jasmine M Wardiya]

No idea. Sometimes inspiration strikes, sometimes it's me staring at prompts, sometimes an unfinished poem begging to be finished, or something I've read or heard that's set the muse scampering... If I knew what it was, I'd switch it off exam time and on in holidays. Seriously, it likes doing things the other way around. The amount of times I've handed in poems at the back of exam papers... Maybe stress is one of the things my muse dines on.
