On writing:

"It is in the margins that poems are found" -Osip Mandelstam

This is one of the most true statements I have ever heard. Poetry does not come from being assigned a topic or sitting down to write about a specific thing. It comes from being inspired at a random, spontaneous moment, and jotting your thoughts down in the margin.
