Creative Conformity


Creativeness...conformity...a pair
     that go together just like night and day,
as one supports the other to declare
     a unity and balance, that must say

there's planning in a poem to be great
     with use of forms for rhythm, meter, rhyme;
to soften words, with music must collate,
     tho some commit to flow, discarding chime.

There's planning in a work of art; no doubt
     a painting, sculpture, shows a balanced form.
The curves and shapes, tho varied, even out...
     free-flowing shapes to unity conform.

Creativeness...conformity...a team
     for poets, sculptors, and each artist's dream.
