Elaborate, the tree forts
imagination envisions
Indifferent, the rationale
that overpowers inspiration
I balk, abandon hope,
build a wall instead,
forgetting…
Creativity is not linear,
tolerates input, planning,
some alternatives preferred.

Absolutely! My (much) younger tree-climbing self would have been up there in no time.So many footholds. Really great shot!
I agree…creativity is not linear. A few steps forward. Few steps back. Side road. Patience is a challenge though.
