Creativity.

The painter has her canvas and her brushes to reveal, to all the world the glory that creation makes her feel. The poet has a notebook and his pencils to record the wonder that he finds within, the beauty seen abroad. Composers have their octaves and notation to explore the tonal echoes of the world that they in living saw. But I have just my mind and time, one moment to create, myself a little happiness before it is too late. In living or in dying I remain forever free, to be endlessly creating the person I will be. For the creative part of living makes me truly whole and I can know no greater art, than is the human soul.

Some lovely couplets. Yes, creativity can be a necessary part of life - but surely you have the tools of the poet?

Hi Nicholas,
Well yes it ispossible that I have the tools of a poet, or maybe I am slowly gaining them. However this poem was written with its ultimate intended audience as people who are not poets, the bulk of humanity.

Thanks for responding to both my poems.

Your poems are not grand but they are effective. "My self a little happiness..." is very dear to my heart. A sweet and humble philosophy. By the way, youe website is beautiful my son and I browsed through a little last night, he will definitely be benefiting from it. It's very pretty. I will make a point to use the search engine there.

Dear God's Wife,
What an interesting name, I realise that much of my poetry is not what you would call grand, it is not meant to be, it is meant to be easily understood, it is meant to communicate with many people, not just the few who can get inside my head or who share my knowledge base. I do right more seriois peotry and maybe I will post some here. Thanks for reading and for the kind words.

I think that's exactly what they do. Much like your website. I'm assuming you're passion is lending a hand so people can appreciate this brief existence a little bit more. Looking forward to seeing your more serious poetry.

This isn't bad, but as a reader I am expecting rhyme throughout - you just stop that sequence in the middle, that makes it feel quite awkward.

Hi Three Little Bears,
Thanks for leaving a comment, but I am sorry to say I do not understand it, as far as I can see each couplet of the the poem rhymes, not just the first half. Could you explain more fully what you mean.
