I hunt for inspiration
Searching out flashes of insight
A clever turn of a phrase
New ways of describing old things
I listen for a muse to whisper in my ear
Or lift my fingers at the keyboard
Just so
I listen to random conversations
Or the wind in the trees
For something to transform to the page
I look for images
That I can capture
And decorate with words
At times, I join forces
Hunt in packs
Reaching out across the world
For inspired collaboration
But mostly it’s a solitary search
Patiently waiting in my blind
For easy prey to saunter into view
Where I can skewer them with my pen
Or gun down with automatic weapons
Machine gun rattle of keystrokes bursting open stillness
My trophy wall is pages deep
Shimmering ideas pinned beneath a frame
Evidence of a successful hunt
A promise of more to come
I am on the hunt, constantly
