I am in kinetic motion, a blur of limbs and
bounding ideas swirling in chaos. There
     is no rest for me weary still I
        drive on, The fires forever fuel
           my desires. I am without
             direction nor need of
              guidance. What I create
          may burst with brilliant tones
              and extreme shades, bordering
                  on a destructive flow,
                  what is my art but a
                 reflection of myself?
                  *Boundless spiralling
                 aspirations raging into
               turmoil*, ink explodes
                  with endless ideas I
                    am lost in the
                     great effort
                       to pen them
                        all. Yet
                         it
                       seems a
                       curse
                         this
                     thirst
                      this
                    mad
                   ness
                 for me
                   it is
                 my life,
                   my
                 blood  
                  my
                 sweat
                  I
              live
               For
              this
            Riding
             the
          storms
            and
            the
           dou
          bts
          of
         the
        torn
        ado
        wit
         h
         I
           n
            .

===========================
This poem was first written after Lost Dreamer donated lines my inspiration challenge. I don't know if this fits your Graphics challenge... it is supposed to be a tornado LOL I still have not figured out how to use different text colours.

* lines written by Lost dreamer.

Brian~
I believe this was very nicely done.
Certainly a tornadic whirling of thoughts.
Way to go !

Brian-This is AWESOME and just for your info I have a fascination for tornados and YES it does meet the challenge and meets it well.  I am printing this and adding it to my library as well.  I will send you something to help with the colors my friend.  Keep an eye on your email and it will be there tonight.  Thank you for taking and meeting the challenge.  BTW-The verse swept me away also and please tell her thank you for from me.
And a little something for you to enjoy.

It is a tornado!
We got caught in it
And all our words will swirl with you
You are not alone
To think as you do
My problem is I cannot write it down
I wish I could
So I would not be so crazy

Brian what a little whirlwind of passion you are. Reading your work was a dizzying experience.
Be well

Brian, when I saw the word "kinetic" I KNEW someone had hit on tornados...and I too was swept away! Another idea [of mine] has now bit the dust...sigh...back to the drawing board [and I'm so NOT good at this...]< !signature-->

hi Brian, I hope you don't mind my browsing thru the files, but the topic caught my eye and knowing the writes you've shared I had to take a peak inside.

My compliments on the presentation but you got me hook line and sinker on your writing it's awesome in this one!

Ciao
Coco
