Notes About The Poem

The Universe of Creativity, the Poet, and the Poem

Poetic lines
plucked out of the universe of creativity
a structure perhaps in place.

The poet's mind
a receptor
like a television receiving radio waves.

A message and a form emerges and a pattern appears
then to be arranged and carefully designed
like a quilter creating a quilt.

Further guided to play with words and structure
so as to fine tune
like a musician fine tuning a musical instrument.

The poet beckoned
by the universe of creativity
summoned to create the poem.

You're so right-- my poems come to me, of their own accord, and all my pleading is for naught when they 'hide away'....

I find that I have to let creativity come to me, before I start creating, or that I have to be in the right state of presence. Thank you for your response L. J.

Hi Gershon. Oh that precious call and summons. Seeing it is the difficult part. Perhaps searching and learning is the key. Take care, my friend.

So very true, George, you could even add to it as a seed in the soil wakes up reaches the nutrients and root itself then reach for the first breath of air. Great verse.
