Poems On Creativity
Creativity comes in a variety of forms. Many people think of writing and artwork as the main ways to show creativity, but there are many others. Creating something is a powerful form of self-expression, and it can impact other people. The inspiration to create can be found anywhere.

When we allow the creative side of our brain to take over, we never know the beauty that will come from it.
