A La Mozart

Always been creative in one form or another It's definitely what turns my crank Sometimes I wish I could turn it off but no dice Been blessed with this very creative mind Which can actually be a real curse At times I'd just like to kick back Put my mind in neutral and let the world go by I think the word I'm thinking of is "vegetate" However, this word is not part of my vocabulary Those that don't suffer from it can't imagine Why I would want a break from it Well, to begin, normal things like watching TV Or watching a movie at the theatre not hold my interest They are non productive hours I know, you must be thinking, "poor soul!" Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being me Although at times it can be overwhelming Writing poetry is my current outlet I have no idea what could possibly come next Maybe I'll write a symphony, a la Mozart! © Jack Ellison 2014

Wouldn't that be grand if we could put the music in our heads onto a sheet to repeat, it's a very hard task to learn to read & write music. Light & Love

I'm glad I don't have a creative mind... Then I may have to contend with unicorns, too! And those horns always keep getting me in the butt! Nasty Creatures, You know! LOL
