Boxed In
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it." Vincent Van Gogh
They tell you ‘Think outside the box’
So, ponder well, pull up your socks
Avoid the danger of clichés,
Don’t overdress with mayonnaise
Explore what lies beyond the rules
Create your own poetic tools
Delve in each corner of the mind
Where inspiration you will find.
Illumination ~ thump of fist:
That’s it! Eureka! What a twist!
