Who or what inspires?
Is it those who rule and reign?
Those who climb mountains
Or perform surgery on the brain?

Who or what inspires?
Makes you want to reach out for more?
Is it those who live in splendour
With money and riches galore?

Who or what inspires?
Makes you shout out with glee?
Is it those who are transformed
With plastic surgery?

Who or what inspires?
Makes you smile from ear to ear?
Is it those operatic stars
Their voices loud and clear?

Who or what inspires?
I know my answer true!
Is a person who is honest
A good heart through and through.
Who or what inspires?
Heartfelt and true
Over and beyond

Oh strength from within
Riches strong and true
X
Wandering through falseness
Halting those words untrue
Avalanche of wisdom
Transpires to change our world

I see the world in naked form
Never ending lessons of love
Spiritual paths to follow
Inclinations from bad to good
Perils are lessons in waiting
Inductions to a world so true
Reaching gripping ideals
Everlasting courageous and clear
Souls vibrant and true.

Eddy, I've really missed your poetry. You're very talented! I love both of these poems. The first was fun to read.
Love it and love how you put your title at the end in acrostics. You are very talented! You inspire me!

I admire your style and anything you see can be an inspiration.
Inspiration comes from reading poetry such as this. Well done Eddy.
Why all schucks and such, this one is an easy one. You do! Not to mention all these folks who commented here. I reckon our club inspires me. Or maybe that is the love in our hubclub.
