I, too, know that phenomenon – a word, phrase, or a rhythm for a poem. Even a shape that need to be put down on canvas.
It seems to me that, like you indicate, it is connected with what is already happening in the mind, conscious or not, so that during periods where I paint, I get more painting ideas, during periods where I am in a poetic mood, such details pop up.
Ideas come from somewhere, and they come when the right inspiration for them is there, so being in an inspired mood, like when going for a walk in the nature, it is – to me – obvious that more ideas will appear. The beauty of the world, or strange impressions, or anything else that sparks thinking will add to the cocktail of thoughts and ideas already boiling in the back of the head, and both useful and more strange things can come out of that :)

Well said, Jorgen. You get it then! It’s always been something really interesting and mysterious to me. I’m glad you could relate.
The first photo has a deep, painterly feel. Very nice.
Thank you Mark - and thanks for visiting!
Yep it happens to me as well :) Nice one Juliette
Thank you Shital!
I totally relate to the random phrase or words popping into my head. To turn that into such beautiful words and imagery is a true gift.
Thank you, Crystal Marie! That means a lot and thank you for reading.
