i think poetry is perhaps a means to explain that which is inexplicable, hence it seems as though inspiration can present itself literally anywhere that you can find, but my whole concept is a study of music, hence mine are mostly drawn from there, though it seems the possibilities and muses are endless. However, it might be noted that some muses are perhaps more popular than others, hence some become a little bit over-used. Personally, ive felt i've always had to be careful in writing ones that are dark, or angst-related, largely due to the fact it is difficult to avoid slipping into these kind of trite expressions. It might be the same in describing feelings of love and affection, and things in relation to that. just thoughts really, im not really one to say what is and what isnt.
