This is a re-post in response, and in addition to my reply, to Tequila Sunrise's "My Pen", and the discussion involving the word "gifted".

Just what is all this talk of quills and love,
Of Cupid, Shakespeare's Muse and golden geese?
Not one of those sparks inspiration of,
The words you write with practiced expertise.
Perceptions, insight, concepts all give rise,
To the emotion linked to your brainchild,
Born of your mind, and then immortalized,
Just a synaptic process, though self styled.
No quills, the words will flow from pencil tip,
Or Bic; no vellum needed, only scraps,
Of paper where you'll scrawl your workmanship,
The lure of words of yore - it's just a trap,
This magic feather tale should not be bought,
It takes but creativity and thought.


"It is wisdom to know others;
It is enlightenment to know one's self" - Lao Tzu
