What Inspires You?

As a creative individual, what drives you to do what you do? How do you stay motivated to share your gifts with the world? You can leave your responses to this in the comments below.

I’ll go first . . . I love connection. If I can touch just one person each day with my writing, then I am meeting a personal goal. The ability to harness negative energy and turn it into something positive is what drives me, it keeps me going.

Now, it’s your turn. Please, don’t be shy. Share with us.

Lune #17 of 25

the crazy wind blows
and sun hides
behind the shadows


*A lune (rhymes with moon) is a very short poem. It has only three lines. It is similar to a haiku. A haiku has three lines, and it follows a 5/7/5 syllable pattern. The lune’s syllable pattern is 5/3/5. Since the middle line is limited to three syllables, it is often the shortest line of the three. This makes a lune curve a bit like a crescent moon.

For the next twenty-five days, except Saturdays and Sundays, I will share a lune with each of you. This is Lune #17 of this project.
