What Is Creativity
Is it coming up with something completely new?
Creating something from nothing as if on cue
Is it combining made concepts in order to create?
The ability to do so is still something great
Is it the ability and flexibility to adapt to change?
Embracing the new despite it being strange
Does it come from ability or a great deal of work?
In perspiration or inspiration does it lurk?
The answer it seems incorporates them all
It’s finding the new, escaping the banal
All human beings are capable of imagination
But we are taught to deny its cultivation
As a child we create often with little limitation
As practicality is expected it comes in moderation
Judgment and logic become commonly used
Our creative impulses now often refused
To escape the trap, we change how we think
Question the norm, and find a new link
Then action and thoughts find new direction
A solution that could just be perfection
