Artsy-Craftsy

 Creation is:

A thought made solid.

An urge humored.

A change manifested.

A status ipso facto.

A first act in an indeterminate play.


A reason to stay up.

An excuse for oblivousness.

A desire for more.

A need for less.

A mitigated disaster.

An answer to an unasked question.


A last throw of loaded dice.

A sunset viewed from a gutter.

A songbird flitting through smog.

A crab scuttling into a wave.

A beautiful scar from a painful wound.

A laugh in the midst of tears.


A final warm breeze before a blizzard.

A tree bent double by the wind.

An unexplained conundrum.

A denial of acceptance.

A shy smile, often unreturned.

A fear of sameness.


A patter of snowflakes on a deathly cold night.

A reach with a broken, bandaged hand.

A flair for unease.

A dramatic demonstration of the mundane.

A drowning of ego in id.


A reptilian brain deciding it just don't care.

A repetition seeking originality.

A long walk in a scenic desert with no water.

A cause to despair, ye mighty.

An opportunity to make the WORST THING EVER.

An attractant for philistines, trolls, and backbiters.


A deep bass beat from an unknown source.

A rustle of leaves before a storm.

A penetration of what is with what might.

A knockout blow from a balsawood hammer.

A surrender of dignity for uncertainty.


A half-recalled visit to a demolished building.

A terrifying ordeal, ending with flowers and champagne.

A second chance for a mathematical impossibility.

An equation: ∞ = 0+x.


A sigh of exasperation.

A lust for a nonexistent lover.

A stiff neck and a pain in the back.

An unheralded tear running down your cheek.

A hope for a hopeless cause.

A last uplift before the inevitable crash.


A bad idea.

...But there are no good ones.
