Who has inspired you?

During the month of April 2023 — National Poetry Month – I will be writing poems inspired by inspiring people.

If you’d like to play a part, you can, and it’s easy!

“Within all beings
there is the seed of perfection.”
— The Dalai Lama

I would love for you to tell me about someone who has inspired you.

Complete the form below. I’ll do my best to get to as many requests as I can during April 2023, Poetry Month!

I will be posting previews to the poems on my Instagram page: @DemandPoet and full poems on Substack: The Zed Review .

If you don’t follow me there, now is a good time (well, now, but don’t get distracted and forget to fill out the form).
