When I am looking for a creative idea, what I do
Is the exact opposite of what I need to..
I scroll through my phone trying to find
Some content that sends a signal to my mind
To get the creative juices flowing through me
But this trick, though often used, works rarely
Once in a while I stumble upon an idea worth exploring
But mostly I just scroll through content insipid and boring
Realizing that precious time I have wasted away
And a creative idea I have not found along the way..
*
To foster my creativity I should sit alone
Let my mind wander, leave my phone
Empty my mind of thoughts pervasive
My attention to the resultant stillness I should give
Devoid of distractions, I should be
Able to come up with ideas more freely..
*
Next time I have a creative itch to scratch
I shall follow my own advice to detach
Myself from the myriad distractions around
I hope the secret to creative expression I’ve found
Passion...unbridled
