CREATIVITY CAN'T BE CONTAINED IN ONE CUP

My Muse Takes Me Out to a Sidewalk Cafe

Focused

This morning, as always,

she pours creamer,

instant coffee and then sugar

into the precise center of her cup,

forming a bullseye in the bottom,

before stirring it all into a morning brew.

This is her cauldron, her ritual

for keeping her life on target.

The process of creating art, for me, whether
expressed in visual forms or in words, is an intuitive process,
in which connections between different images
are noticed, and demand to be recorded.
The connections between diverse images seem to
convey meanings beyond those of single images
viewed alone. They become visual metaphors. Often
similar ideas spill over from one medium to
another, as here, in a photo montage to a poem.
