12 – to be privy to process is priceless

How the poet pens
the writer wrestles
the artist achieves
just the right recipe
of positive and negative
space
and their spaces
for process, too…
from studio, work table, tablet,
drawing board
bulletin board
comes
brilliance
broadcast by
rhythmic rhymes,
novel narrative,
proportion
perfected!
