not only recognition
but encouragement as well
is necessary
for creativity to be considered
creative?
Perhaps the hand that screams
for hungry god
is really just a sharp stab
from a pencil.
Maybe that soul bleaching
headless bowl of whipped cream
is actually shampoo.
So, reasonably, the shark swimming
in a neon sea of bloodless paper
probably isn’t so.
Nothing is truly creative
unless the peers and publishers
glare through the sharp lensed
microscopes and decide.
Anything deemed uncreative
such as the flying daffodil trees
or elephants with glowing
pinwheel trunks
is discarded.
Thrown away into
the growing, invisible landfills
of imagination
and inspiration.
Now dead and gone
all because
they said so.
