A Child's Inherent Virtue: Is Innocence As Creative Potential Poem by Terence George Craddock

on a serious note for a serious reader
a child writing with depth clear revelations
this clarity is proclaimed a child genius

the aim of countless great artists
was to write create like a child
stream of consciousness writing

Picaso had such aims
child instinct insights
source purity art works

as if written by a child
Picaso child art instincts
a compliment in art cycles

to expand the point
hit bulls eye in dart
board eye direct hit

many modern painters
perceived children pursued
a unique age experience

view of the world
this allows them
to form distinct

genuine honest
expressive styles
originality stamps

the belief is
at this early stage
in life a child

young has
an uninhibited
relationship

with the world
a relationship
that absorbs all

perspectives
beautiful shines
reflects beautiful

modern artists
like Picasso celebrated
the ways in which

children are able
to render child eye beauty
in simple abstractions

Pablo Picasso declared
''Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to

remain an artist
once we grow up''
create childlike

a child's inherent
virtue is innocence
as creative potential
