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

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

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
