Creativity is a jungle –
unharnessed overgrowth
threatens the light –
chaotic madness ensuing
Genius enters the chaos –
culls the extraneous –
captures the message
and with elegance,
delivers.

I love the line “culls the extraneous” Sometimes a difficult endeavour! Wonderful response to What Do You See?!
