I am a retired Professor of English and French. I have all of these thoughts rolling around in my head and I am urged to get them on the waves. My students had to write poetry as a part of their learning process. You never know whether a sleeping poet sits among us. So they asked me what had I written. At that time I had not done anything major, just enough to show them where I wanted them to go. after that question, I started writing and I have been doing so every since. I keep a tablet or notebook in my bed to jot down ideas as soon as I awake. Sometimes a lines come to me in my sleep.
