I write every day but not always poems. I have written essays for a number of newspapers and magazines, some of them humorous, some of them memoir and some of them discussing ideas about life. I live my life seeing the world as a poet, paying attention and thinking about it all.
I think like most serious poets, I have to write. It’s what you do. It’s your life. I find inspiration in books, movies, newspaper reports, from my job, getting to my job on a bus was great material, from crazy neighbors and neighborhoods I lived in. Just about anything is a potential subject.
Writing a good poem. Poetry is not a high-income format in many countries. So, what a poet must focus on is the poem itself, the words, the line endings, the stanza breaks, as well as the theme and images, metaphors or similes. As a poet, the only person that really matters is me and if I can sense or feel that the poem is working. I do have other poets read my work and offer suggestions, but ultimately, I’m responsible for the poem to turn out the way I want it to.
