The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling.
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.

-W.Shakespeare

When I Hear the Artists' Call

The artists' call lights a fire within,
My scribbling fueled by some spontaneous combustion,
The artists' call opens these dreamy eyes,
As my consciousness touches down on realities,
The artists' call so blessed and cursed,
Left me passions and ideas that can never be nursed,
The artists' call stopped my life,
Put me at odds with the world and in perpetual strife,
The artists' call started this sentence,
And I will forever write in penance...
