The Caps Lock, is an artful mistake. . .

DOING STRANGE THINGS IN THE NAME OF ART
STAYING UP LATE FOR SAKE OF INSPIRATION
LETTING THE PENCIL AND PEN BE GUIDED BY MY HEART
PLOT BUNNIES EVER RUINING MY CONCENTRATION
COVERED IN PAINT, PENCIL SHAVINGS IN MY HAIR
AND EVEN AFTER 8 HOURS, MORE IDEAS ARE STILL THERE

YOU CAN'T DEPEND ON YOUR EYES
WHEN YOUR IMAGINATION'S OUT OF FOCUS
AND ALL OF THE HURTFUL LIES
HAVE GOT ME DREAMING, DREAMLESS
WITH MY EYES WIDE OPEN
AND MY MIND FULLY AWAKE
THE INSPIRATIONS BUGS HAVE BITTEN
AND NOW THEY HAPPILY WATCH WHAT I MAKE

ADDING THEIR INPUT, APPLAUDING THE MISTAKES
MISTAKES THAT WERE MEANT TO BE
NODDING, EVALUATING, SEEING IF I'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE BLIND, OPEN THEIR EYES AND SEE
WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE DEAF, HEAR WAFTING MELODIES
IMPOSSIBLE YOU SAY? WELL MY FRIEND I MUST DISAGREE!

One must only open up their imaginations senses,
To truly hear and see. . .

Author's Note

Yes i know it's in capitals, the caps lock got turned on, and i kinda liked the chaotic, raving mad affect it lent to the piece, so i left it. It's supposed to feel, mad, starved, insane, and at the same time logical and in a ranting sense thought-provoking

Reviews

[♪GetUse2MyMelodie..]

haha love it :) So entertaining with the caps lock. Really ramped up the little voice in head.

[ICE]

I thought that this piece was really good.

[AbsentElements]

I like that not only is the title very creative but you kept that caps lock on, and even more you explain your reasoning behind it. I definitely feel what you say I should. Very nice.

[Jeff Bresee]

Perfect. Loved this from start to finish. The concept is so true. The best things created...create themselves while we observe in awe.

I love it. : )

[Senseless whatever]

This is fantastic. Sounds like the you that was is back again. Not a trick I hope. Caps lock, perfect for this. I can picture you rushing around your room chanting this to your books as you pen it out on random pieces of paper stuck to monster cans!!

[MissWordSmith]

I absolutely loved this! I adore the first stanza! Just love it!

[Wolfe Greytome]

I like this piece a lot. I agree the caps add a late night surreal quality that gives it a little extra punch.
