Creative Juices

Everyone’s creative juices,
Tucked away inside,
Might show up at different times
Or always seem to hide.

For I believe that each of us
Is capable enough
To use his talents to produce
Some quite amazing stuff.

No matter what the outlet – 
Be it crafts or words or art,
Maybe food or sport or decorating - 
It just needs a start.

It’s sad to think that some deny
Or else refuse to show
Their creative juices, which just need
A push to make them flow.

Well, Ilene, I'm very glad that you choose to share your "creative juices" with us. Keep 'em coming!

You're so right on this matter, Ilene, and a fine example of how to keep your own creative juices from drying up as so many people do, especially when boredom is so much a part of their advanced years!!! I write poetry, keep up in my languages, translate in five, enjoy good wines, and visit local and out-of-state museums. You won;t hear me complaining about old age! / Maurice

I saw someone yesterday, who seemed unhappy, and I thought the same as you wrote, that she may have a talent. Thank you for this encouraging poem..
