An artist’s ego
Casts a shadow
On the beauty
Of art
Artist’s growth
Happens within
Not from
False sense of pride
It’s a process
Where
One evolves everyday
Stay humble
To appreciate
All works of art
With an open mind
Try to read art
Not from
Borrowed perspectives
But delve deeper
Into the world of art
It’s an endless journey
Creativity is eternal
Moment you stop
And find yourself
Obstructed by ego
To learn and participate
You have foregone
The chance
To become a true artist

There’s turmoil
In the mind
The grey’s activated
Speeding thoughts
At neurotic pace
Synapses in overdrive
Mind does matter
Laden with ideas
There’s a universe
Within me
Humongous task
To travel beyond
This space
Holds, the minuscule me
It’s an endeavor
Finding myself

O’ custodians of poetry
Gather all at the Poet’s hall
Take a pledge to write
Poetry shall flow endlessly
Creativity shall never end
Our words shall birth future poetry
Prayer to our Muse
For the flow of inspirations
We can make harmony
When poets gather in unison
Poetry will be enriched
With the feelings and emotions
Poetry shall inspire the poetic minds
To come out of the slumber
Here, poetic world beckons
Creativity is a talisman
O’ custodians of poetry
Listen to this prayer

Write a Clerihew:
It’s easy to do.
Two rhyming couplets of any length:
Short and simple, that’s its strength.

Remember Johnny Giles
A player with all the wiles.
In midfield he did scheme:
For Leeds he was a dream.

Nicole Scherzinger,
What a messenger.
A Friend so loyal,
Regally royal.

Oh Nick Clegg,
Why did you have to beg
For a Tory-led Coalition,
Sending the Lib-Dems into Perdition?

(PS) All hail be to great Don Newton,
Always had a winning solution.
Played table tennis with flashing blade,
A Legend that will never fade.

Paul Butters
Love Clerihews!!!
