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.

Update:

No apology is needed just was wondering if this also happens to you as it does to me! LOL I was talking about myself!

    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....

    I found this happening to me very quickly after I got here.

    One of the first answers I got in YA Poetry was another poem. What fun!

    It has happened to me - many times. When the muse flows - I just let it come through. I thought she was long dead - but she likes to share her insight - to a certain few. Depending on the question and the flow of the answer - of course ♥

    Constantly... Constantly... Constantly.

    Isn't it great to receive on the spot written poetry as a comment, when it's complimentary to what you have written
