An Encouraging Thought

Every day I get up and write a poem or a few,
And every day I think, “Too bad all inspiration left me,
Yesterday, or maybe last week.”

Then came the encouragement, “If you think
You wrote better before,
Don’t assume that inspiration died.
If you did it once, you can do it again.”

I was simply observing the creative process,
Not asking for a transformation of perspective.
But I’ll take dormancy over death any day.
