Light BulbSome inspirational thoughts and links to help in the quest for poetic inspiration.

My first recommendation is the Stephen Fry - The Ode Less Travelled.  This is brilliant for all those people (me included) who are struggling with the artifice of writing poetry within rules.  The whoe book is written in easy to use, contemporary language and some of the examples had me in stitches last night.  His dry sense of humour is evident throughout. A book to put on your Wishlist for Christmas.   Shani
