A Creative Fast
A Creative Fast
Cleaning keyboard keys discretely suggests
that writing needs less contamination; and if
an inchoate attention to what ‘fingers’ might
bring to the party betrays crumbs dusting th’
desk like dervishes whirling in a supplicatory
expression of their wild beliefs, then it’s time
to ban feasting – and thus one must impress
the discipline of cleansing and creative fast
Reckon it’d last about a week at best – altho
the idea’s great, there’s an epicurean history
to contend with appealing weakest ‘choices’
of such drastic measures, deflating pleasure
it offers free, &, in a culinary sagacity, it isn’t
as if all of this writing isn’t actually that feast

Feast or famine, there is always something to write about; that is why we are writers. Nice work Ivan
Thank you Tony. Yes, the creative motivation stirs at the oddest of times…!!
Nice work, Ivan. My creativity usually hits sometime during the night and I have to get up and write it down before I forget.
Reaching retirement age helped me Phyllis! My creative activity kicks off with the onset of each new day now routines of full-time employment are redundant. So what I experience is primary… But by midday I’m ready for a sleep!
