Creativity

I netted a word today spritzing in the back of mind, examined it from angles: politically, like stars and spangles rhythmically, like Mr. Bojangles spiritually, like sin~ the foolish soul entangles -------------------------------- Some writes simply start that way, a little prick, a piercing needle, a little sip, then a bigger swig -- from a simple plan with a hopping step~ to a stomping, glorious gig! -- A bee of thought from silent hive astray a buzzing syllable with small fanning wings jolting every colony senator with shocking, new contagious temblor till the whole damn swarm takes alacritous notice -- the poet begins an inflating rock... bursting out joyfully~ his pen verse singing!

Hi Andrea; thank you very much, for the kind words and encouragement. I think writer's, especially poets, what the heck, should take chances with form and balance...it keeps works imperfectly human. Blessings my friend.

The way youv written this is so creative dear joe. clever word pairing and youv written on a subject i think many can resonate with. I love how smoothly your words always flow and also love the phrases “ a little sip, then a bigger swig -- from a simple plan with a hopping step~ to a stomping, glorious gig! --” this is exactly how it all unfolds flr me. And that last line is soul warming and uplifting for some reason! Loved this! Pleasure reading your work always. Sending you light

It really is a gift from the Creator, our wonderful brains, able to take a word or germ of an idea and then to take off with it and produce something of value. Nice one Joe

Superb. Honestly, what a great way to describe that first word spark that births the beautiful poem. I loved the bee analogy the most. Intriguing write.
