Write a poem from a poem

I thought I was the only one that felt a poem so much, it inspired me to write (not re-write) a poem including including content of that poem. Fellow poet MOMofTWINS was inspired by RyneishaB's poem "Spoken Word"; and 16 minutes later wrote "Unspoken Word". When time permits, please read "Spoken Word", and then check out "Unspoken Word". Both are nice. wink

Re: Write a poem from a poem

That is funny i was just thinking about the same thing yesterday

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
