looks like you found a pterodactyl! :)
I can't imagine thinking and writing poetry in a foreign language, how come English comes so natural to you?

Some time ago, I translated a TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, on nurturing creativity.

She shared a story about American poet Ruth Stone, who said she could feel and hear a poem coming at her from over the landscape.

This is mostly what happens to me.

Because of my work, I am fluent in Dutch and English. I guess if my French, German, Japanese, Danish and Latin weren't so rusty, I'd have poems sneak up on me in those languages as well ;-)
