Yes. Life should be fun. Explore the possibilities. Look Under your bed. Might be something new and different. All sorts of things collect there. Ever try spray painting on a dust ball? Create a new art project.

I throw a bit of paint on a canvas or two every day. Does that count?

Yes. Add dust for texture. Maybe a sponge for porous surfaces . You got right idea. Collage education….

I would love to talk to few poets. This is interesting stuff. My list would be: T.S. Elliott, Dylan Thomas, and Maya Angelou. I did get to hear Ms. Angelou speak. She was quite amazing. I like that yours was e e cummings! I love his poetry as well. Thank you

Thanks, Penny. I got to hear Maya Angelou speak one time, too. She radiated wisdom and grace.

E. E. Cummings' unique style, with its unconventional structure, playful punctuation, and innovative use of parentheses, allows for a more fluid and expressive form of poetry. It invites the reader to pause, to consider the placement of each word, and to find meaning in the spaces between the lines.
