“When creativeness steals my mind~ from all else, I'm trapped and blind.” __by Poet Another poem I must write so little time to get it right. A brand new contest beckons me- awakens my poetic sight. Must set aside the chores I see to meet the call of what's to be. For when I'm captured, I must do whatever helps to set me free. From mind to heart, words will accrue creative visions that are true; address the theme with the rules sought to write a poem, fresh and new. And so begins this battle fought for in this web, my being's caught to end the challenge with deep sighs- till captured once again in thought.
