Impeccable Conception

Impeccable Conception - meaning Summary

Art from Everyday Observation

The poem gently sketches a portrait of a woman poet who finds inspiration in ordinary, often domestic or natural details. Small occurrences—a falling leaf, a wilting rose, even clothing—trigger creative work, blending observation with solitary composition. The tone is wry and admiring, presenting artistic imagination as an intimate, persistent habit that turns everyday moments into subjects for romantic, rewarding prose.

I met a Lady Poet who took for inspiration colored birds, and whispered words, a lover's hesitation. A falling leaf could stir her. A wilting, dying rose would make her write, both day and night, the most rewarding prose. She'd find a hidden meaning in every pair of pants, then hurry home to be alone and write about romance.
