In his 'Evidently Spencertown' poetry column, Spencer Robertshaw reflects in his latest poem on the power of creativity
Article
Creativity comes in dynamic pulses
You can be sat on a bus or in the train
In a coffee shop
In a queue for something you probably don’t need
On a journey you might not want to go on
In a place you might not want to be
At 3 or 4 a.m. in the morning
When all normal people give in
A borrowed scrap of paper
The back of a beer mat or fag packet
But not too many fag packets anymore
Creativity is the first note of that song
The first word or line of that poem
The dance your mind takes
Snow on a sunny day
Swans on your washing line
Secret agents seeking
Sitting at the end of a rainbow
Carefully considering consideration
Creativity can create equality without language
Don't ever stop believing
Creativity starts with you, any day, any time
It only takes You!
