Poems and Thoughts    by Frank Maurer

Creativity. Just what causes one to record a Thought or a Poem? For me, there are several different stimuli that lead to a written page: If I hear someone speaking about a certain subject And wish to embellish it in a particular manner; Or if a memory of a past experience pops into my head; Possibly it might be stimulated by a foreboding of the future; A particular sound or shape or color might lead to a written image; Comparison of the present with the past, or a future event which might unfold; Or possibly I wish to write something sad or joyful, Manifesting reality or imagination; Protest or anger about a situation may spark a creative impulse; Of course it is always fun to write a short image about a person And slip it to herm physically or auditorily to fulfill another's passion or portrait. The ultimate question remains--will anyone actually read it! Frank Maurer 1 March 2025 1519 Hours.
