Thursday Thinking and Inking - Poet or Poetry

All Aboard the Meme Express – Thursday, February 4, 2010

Where are you going today? How about tomorrow ...and the next day ... and the next? What footprints would you like to leave for those that will follow you in future generations?

Have you ever written poetry? How might poetry be seen as a mirror for real life?

What territory (literal or figurative) might be covered by poetry - that might otherwise be inaccessible? How might a poet be seen as a sort of pioneer?

Today, we present out this quotation for Thursday Thinking and Inking at Meme Express.

“Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.”

Sigmund Freud
Austrian neurologist,
known as the "father of psychoanalysis"

(1856 - 1939)

Each Thursday, we offer feature a quotation as inspiration for that day’s prompt.

The Meme Express for today is simple:

or

Perhaps this poetic concept will inspire you to create and post a drawing, a poem, a photograph, a short story, or a journal entry.  Then return here to leave a comment with your link.
