If you cock your head left a little, you will see the world through your favorite color. Cock it a little to the right and suddenly words spill from you to hypnotize others. That's creativity and it is you at your best.

’Twas the season of the thawed, frostbitten

pen and brush and a mad woman’s long-kept

secret in the attic of her temple that began with

words and hues losing power because they

were never spoken for ears to hear nor

brought into the light for eyes to see.

She danced around in a half-hidden war zone

on the edge of the universe worried whether

a room crowded with critics would or could

appreciate the life and love she breathed into

her children left hanging on bland walls and

bound in inked pulp to be plucked from tabletops.
