You know, writing is a dazzling art
We can write of doom
Or a
Wayward fart

Be oft we think the thought to small
To put our pen
To work
At all

Not grand we think that thought we thank
A rose is sweet
Our muse
It stank

On our butt here we sit just in case
To await a notion
To come
From space

So wasted lined and tunes unwrit
Doth pass us by
In our
Stupor sit

Ah to sing the tunes of Poe and Dunn
But words unwritten
Are read
By none

Morganwood, I do a lot of "pen to paper", but it is all report writing. Get creative there and you are in trouble. I think good writing is the product, not so much of "creativity", but of the maturity, experience and character of the writer. Any creative writing I have attempted (and that was long ago) seemed silly and immature. I greatly admire those who can do it.

Oh, man. I used to ALWAYS turn my history reports into displays of comedian/exhibitionist madness, with messed-up accents, and of course that good old comedic tool, bad characterization, along with a hefty dose of sarcasm and some one-liners tossed in. I didn't exactly receive great grades on it, but I was not born to write dull essays on the mating habits of the tree sloth. I think the facts are only half the story, in the end if you present it boring nobody will learn a thing, and no one will care about it five minutes after you sit down.

There is no such thing as a "dull essay on the mating habits of the tree sloth." No matter what is written or how poorly it is presented, the imagery alone of those delicate creatures fornicating in breathtaking slow-motion movements is something that should be cherished by all.

(I'm gonna go look for my tree sloth sex tapes.)
