This is a companion post to Responsibility. Responsibility and creativity are not always mutually exclusive, just often.
Creativity
Creativity fills
compartmented gaps,
a span of two shores
above the deep
pastel portraits
evoke at once calm
and petulance, presence
and escape, an Alcatraz
oasis from afar,
an ill wind aweather.
Oh that one could eternally live
on that ethereal bridge
connecting shore to shore
and soul to soul.
Husband. Father. Grandfather. Pilot. Pastor. Poet.

I always always look forward to your posts. Their infrequency makes them more charming. Makes me more happy to come. I’d love to parse one of these with you sometime. See if what you were saying is close to what I am hearing.
Not that that matters a white with poetry.

Their extensive infrequency had to do with the 401! page I was getting when I tried to post. Marcus did something with the server and now I’m back!
I thought parsing was what the comments section was for. I’d really be interested to hear what you, and anyone else, hear in my poems to see if I’m communicating.
