Great photo.
I write more poems than anyone else.
So I need TONS of ideas.
What sets me off is a contrast, a contradiction, something whose negative, opposite, change or cancellation would be interesting.
These pairs are part of the "don't raise the bridge, lower the water" category.
Here some quick examples that come to mind--ti mine anyhow.
You see a picture of a beautiful girl. Ok, now she's not pretty--so what is it about her other that prettiness that makes here really beautiful.
You've just won a contest. But you know you can't always win. So what's your profit if you finish second?
It's a grey morning--write a poem about sunlight.
It's a dull evening. Write about other evenings that you remember-the not-so-dull ones.
I'm looking at a blue bowl I own. Write about things you saw and didn't or couldn't buy--or that someone else bought that you wish you had bought.
What provokes my thought? Any contrast, contradiction, change, zeroing out of extreme.

How to manage to raise the consciousness level of the majority of humans by 3-400% so that the species and planet might have a chance to survive? In the absence of such a miracle, hmmmm. :))

Music is the key that provokes my thoughts.

The opinion of others. I like trying to see from other peoples' point of view, why they can think that. It always opens my mind to a whole new field of thought.

dilemnas, options, choices and crossroads
sink or swim?
shake it up or break it up?
walk or ride?
lead or run?
simply put but on reality these simple choices requires thorough thinking because a wrong judgement today can affect the thing you will be facing in the future.

Those things, right here and now, that I can make a difference in. Otherwise why waste the thought?

Take a topic and really think deeply into it as far as I can which goes so so far and never stop!

Knowing that I don't know combined with my love of all things and respect for all people.
