A Sonnet On How I Write

This is a response to a challenge from Jason Basaraba:
But that is now my challenge to you. Write a poem about your thought process and what gives you ideas.
Below is his poem on the subject.
Here is a video where I talk about my creative processes
I know whether itβs laziness but my favoured poetic form is the sonnet, and that is what I have chosen for this response.

Where Do I Find My Inspiration?
Talking To My Muse Lets The Words Flow
Hearing Music Makes My Mind Aglow
Birdsong Is Another Direction

Walking And Meeting With Feline Friends
Sets The Movement In My Mind To Work
Tales And Poems Emerge From The Blur
And Flow From My Fingers Once Again

I Always Look For Things I Donβt Know
The Shock Of The New To Help Me Grow
Sometimes Itβs Hard And Others Easy
Like This Sonnet Now Setting Me Free

My First Muse Set Me On This Journey
Which Is Where I Have Arrived today

I love how you knocked this out so quickly and so natural.
Very nicely done.
Sonnets are a favorite of mine, too. Is this a homebrew format? I don't think I've ever seen one with this meter and rhyme scheme before. I like it!
Sonnets are some of my favorites too!! Although I'm not the best at writing them. This flowed really well! I liked it a lot!
