Poets does this happen to you?

You start to answer a question, and then the poem begins, takes on a life of its own! You go from answering someones question, and then it becomes a new poem.

Yes. I frequently will then take the poem out and post it as my question. In fact that is what I do in most cases with my copyright. I will answer the question, but it depends on whether I include my poetry -- it varies.

Yes, and I apologize. What should have been an answer, sometimes morphs into more than a simple answer. Some I have posted, giving a nod to the origins. I think that is the best way. But if I post it on the question, I can only hope my reply is seen as complimentary and it reflects how inspirational the original words were. Thanks, MB

Yeah yeah somany times...
In fact i even ans some poetry questions with short poems.
Once i read a poem and it affects me strongly, i feel like writing one like that, probably on the same topic, some really good words used in that poem or the mood of that poem....

Yes, every single time.I am not a poet but things come rushing out of my head unto the key-board so fast i can;t type fast enough.I apologize
to any one I have offended.I donot mean to intrude on your poem.Only know that you have opened up something in me that was not there before.This old lady has had such fun the last year on Y/A poetry section.
