Hmm... the observation point is well said. I love reading the poems of other writers for the surprise and inspiration they provide with some of the ways in which they observe the world. (I think a great recent example for me would be TOMH's poem about the puddle - I love those mini adventures of the microscopic that kieth does). I've also noticed that often when a peom is posted that is offering a new view, this will then often trigger a rash of poems on a similar subject. (And picking up on another discussion thread), this in my mind is definatly not plagerism at work, but rather just creative sparks being triggered by the enviroment of the forum. These related poems are always inspirational to read i feel, as again it shows the many varied ways in which we can observe the world.
