Determination of Inspiration” (courtesy of @pandadollbaby)

Plurkid_normalmaniactive:
Where do you search for inspiration?
The depths of despair, or the heights of elation?

Haunted_cropped_normalPandadollbaby:
The truth lies in our quest.
The effort exerted must be our best.

Green_6213_newprofilesm_normalCharityHisle:
It’s not the time to idle in wait;
start today, we make our own fate

Dragonlogo_normaldragonblogger:
Body sluggish and inert,
thoughts conflict and invert

Green_3406_eyeg_normalChristwitery:
Soft words blow, unspoken in my heart
incensed by broken promises, on my part

Dcs_twitter_green_normaldenthewise:
I was the one who left you there
Jilted, alone, it wasn’t fair

Plurkid_normalmaniactive:
So much for finding inspiration in elation
Joyous recollections don’t seem part of the equation!

Dcs_twitter_green_normaldenthewise:
Turning about I face ahead
the future vibrant, the past is dead

Haunted_cropped_normalPandadollbaby:
Renew THE commitment, play by MY rules.
The truth is the key, THE proof we’re NOT fools.

    WOW, I think the poem turned out excellently. What is the title? Are we going to do a compilation? It might be fun.

    Is this what we might call a crowdsourced Twitter poetry mashup?
