SIGN OFF ON THIS

SIGN OFF ON THIS

A Poem by R J Askew
"

Creativity is a place outside normal life. We can't be in both at the same time.

"

This feeling of ...

What? I say

This feeling of WHAT?

Nonegetherness

This real-i-say-shone

This realisation of being

Not

A what outside

Red chalk, black chalk, clump of bread

Tea-stained sheet of blank intent

He licks his lips, he's ready to win

O this mood!

Sperm gone, dead, passion drawn

Free to...

Be outside...all...that...gone, gone...gone buy good

With you

O youyouyouyouyou

My cre-a...

LOUDER!

Q loud tiv-it-eeee

Off on off on off

East Fife, four, Forfar, five

O watch my hand

Hear in your eyes

Draws a swift

Watch my hands

Hear in your eyes

O watch...my...hands

Draws a swift

Five-hundred and what's another year gone?

Noneotheryessing you

Alone

I am the universe beguiling form-o

Leo, Leo

Strip of black across the top

Wa-tching Swifts

Reversed out white

Buy

Buy

Don't forget the buy line

Because tomorrow I will make my front cover

Won't I, Nib?

And you will sign it

In the hottest ink

For me in my meta-cre~a~tiv~it~eee

~

I don't know that I prescribe to your theory of creativity being only outside "normal" life...in fact, I think "normal life" is an oxymoron. There is no "normal" life...there's just life...and a heck of a lot of creativity took place to put it here and even more to keep it here in my opinion. But I do like the jazzy way this goes everywhichway... so I'll allow the breach of my personal philosophy...lol...you always write some inventive things and I'm always thrilled to see what will come next.

My Goodness, such a pschology write here, agreeing with you and Fabian on this. Wow deeply profound piece, makes me think, in which I do need to do once in a while. Awesome!

I think in this case you and Fabian are both right. There are times that a story or poem hits me all in tacked while I am doing an everyday task. But there are times when life is too much and/or not enough and we replace world for world created. Great poem lots of energy and imagery- -

A seemingly wild poem full of power and creative energy, full of excitement, seeking attention and probably getting a lot of it!

One of the things I love about your poetry is your use of repetitiveness with some words. Excellent work!

This has got to read VERY LOUD. You push these thoughts to the forefront and dare them to be challenged. EX-CELL-ENT Ron.

A be-crazed outpouring of normality .. I agree with Fabian, normal life can contain all creativity if that's the being's core desire. Your rush and drive is part of the engine running .. running until it gets to the peak of its everything and, could, if not carefully tuned, burn out ..

Your words burn a hole in thoughts, reading you can be near dangerous, but is always exciting!
