Connections: January 27.18

A writer has days

more often than not

when brilliance of insight

ain’t what it ought.

Mental chairs in neat rows

for ideas to be seated

but this is what happens:

nothing, repeated.

Thanks yet again to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.

The humble skull

cannot contain

energies of

the creative brain.

Crowds of ideas

push and shout

and sometimes just

explode right out.

Thanks again to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives

and to the energetic head of Emily Berg Baine.

Herein lies the tale

of Little Boat and Big Tree:

the tree is my latest idea

the little boat is me.

Again, thanks to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.
