DAY 19 - AUG 21
A void I shall avoid with another cheeky dip into the 2018 well.....
May 13th
ART
ideas erupt
like bubbles in champagne
constantly fizzing
buzzing like flies
in your head
in your brain
out they pop
in they fly
from the sky
from the sea
from the road
from a key
in the air
in your hair
over there, look and see
in the wind
in a tree
the trick is to catch one
to tame it
to shape it
give structure and form
see it through to the end
do the work
take the time
give it care and attention
make no exception
for sloth or for shoddy
examine the body
of each new creation
adjust to perfection
until close inspection
yields nothing
but joy
in the idea
of something
from nothing
confusion
made clear.
