Creative Conformity, an oxymoron.
No other explanation for I cannot fathom this term in any other way
What has already been, cannot be construed as creative.
And conformity has been done
And done
And done
And done
And done.
Overdone, to the point of ridiculousness.
Nothing creative about it.

There comes a time
We ask ourselves
The why of what we do

What is the use of writing poetry
Do I write to express myself or to be read

Here and there are bright patches...

       Left you in order to save you from me.
Didn’t
       I warn you that I was poisonous?

Are You Skew-Whiff?

				Are you feeling rather skew-whiff?
Awkwardly placed and standing?
		upside-down
		back to front
		inside      out
		topsy - turvy
							Are your senses damp and unresponsive,
					Beckoning confusion and despair? 
	Does your heart pound even when there’s nothing exciting there?
