Strange Poetic Values Shifting In Creative Process Poem by Terence George Craddock

strange poetic values who could put a price on a poem
the importance of a poem to a specific poet poem writer
when writing a poem in creative moments it has no value

finished completed poem might shimmer in value for a moment
even a day or days but what value in writing an unfinished poem?
an uncompleted poem may sometimes assume a frustration value

depending upon attained creative insight intensity complexity
or simple radiant beauty what price worth an uncompleted poem?
perhaps indifference none but some would not if offer was made

be swopped for 10 dollars a hundred dollars a thousand dollars
uncompleted then focus falling when completed to perhaps
indifference value forgotten value none creativity burns in surges

differing values imposed on an artists time mind frame focus
priorities in desires to produce artistic needs to shred write words
mind swarm words buzz demand release dates creativity escapes
