Artists are different though
They prefer their creativity
Over discipline especially when
Young until that is
When they age and
Realize that discipline is
Just as essential as
Creativity and then poof
Their creativity then becomes
The discipline they needed

DashDabPinch
A dash of this
A dab of that
A stir and swirl
Some heat some time
A quick cool taste
Some more of that
A little bit of
Something else and maybe
A pinch of thyme
This time and now
To simmer this is
The recipe of creation
Whether it be art
Stew or some soup
Maybe even a poem
Or maybe even love
Snowfall
There was one way
And then you discover
Another and then another
Life is both an
Amalgamation and an accumulation
Much like a snowfall
It always does start
With just one and
Pretty soon many and
Before you know it
That one becomes lots
Which gleefully leads to
Other things like snow
Days and sledding and
Shoveling and hot cocoa
And just simply watching
As snow like life
Falls and what do
You know eventually becomes
Something else entirely by
Surprise and by miracle
HappyHappyHappy
I have learned that
Things don’t matter oh
They might matter for
Those who don’t have
Or for those that
Have and wish to
Keep consume and laud
But genuine happiness comes
From within and if
One is genuinely happy
Alone then one will
Always be happy for
No one can ever
Take that happiness away
Because they never ever
Gave it to you
In the first place
Periscope
Most people think that
Setting sail and traversing
The seas is their
Adventure it is not
Travel affords contemplation not
Victory it is only
When one lands that
One begins to explore
Failure and not victory
Awaits you victory arrives
Long after if you
Are incapable or worse
Unwilling to fight fears
And failure never set
Sail for before you
Is nothing but disappointment
So says the mind
But the heart knows
For the heart and
Not the mind is
Your periscope over which
It can see everything
