—Synonyms 2. Poetry, verse agree in referring to the work of a poet. The difference between poetry and verse is usually the difference between substance and form. Poetry is lofty thought or impassioned feeling expressed in imaginative words: Elizabethan poetry. Verse is any expression in words which simply conforms to accepted metrical rules and structure: the differences between prose and verse.

What inspires us?

Inspiration should be felt and heard,

you can feel it by reading the word!

 

The word INSPIRATION means something different to us all. It can 

stimulate, motivate, encourage, influence, stir, energize, or galvanize. 

It may even arouse, awaken, prompt, kindle and uplift our spirit.  

 

Inspiration is continuously given and often recieved.  When it is given, it

is unconsciously done.  When it is recieved, it fuels the path you are on.

 

Inspiration is our muse. 

See how we put it to use...

 

 

To Freely Express...

 

...what is on one's mind,

to see it in print, signed,

affirms the premise, swirling in the brain,

from random thought to sweet refrain.

Like any work of art, the seeing

is the grand believing,

an idea transformed with color and form

or letters typed to form words of norm.

Creative affirmation,

positive acclimation,

free from suppression,

free expression!
