Question A discuss

Question A discuss

A sonnet-response to 'Question A, discuss...'

"To what extent is creativity
More than just writing stories, poetry,
And improvising drama?" Can we see
What creativity will look like, three

Four millennia from now? And how
Can I prepare myself for future times?
To what extent is growing more than boughs
Or twigs and leaves, or blossom on the limes?

I cannot tell you why I have to write
Or analyse the spirit of these trees;
I cannot limn the brilliance of the light
Or coldly make a spreadsheet of the seas!
Some things are matters of the secret heart
They softly vanish when they’re pulled apart.
