I really wonder about this. The art that comes out of adversity is almost always brilliance. The simple act of someone thinking about making our world better is the best proof of a miracle. I am so impressed at the thought that went into this Fred...I'll ponder it long and no doubt write more than one poem as a result. Thank you so much for that...and honestly, I fear the rage but I feel it growing on a major scale...as writers, I believe we play a roll in starting and stopping that through conversation and ...

I tend to think (hope) that my creativity will morph with my conditions. Meaning, if things are bad, darker work will emerge, times are good, some lighter verse (though I tend to 'dark' in my writing regardless).<br /><br />Thought provoking, well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867567201001499110.post-48653881950587369022012-05-30T11:55:28.048-07:002012-05-30T11:55:28.048-07:00Say Fred!
