Creativity is a cardboard box

Creativity is a cardboard box.
In it, you can reciese a gift from
others. A cardboard box can be a fort,
a clubhouse for young minds.
It can be used on a rainy day:
when you fold it down and sled down
the stair.
It can hold new ideas,
can hold firm and strong,
but on a rainy day, can become soggy:
it falls apart.
A cardboard box can mean thought and time,
can hold some thing artistic:
photographs, paint, signs that read Lemonade $.25,
or last season
closed
because the dresser is full of winter
clothes.

  1. This is cool. I would never have been able to piece together some of these ideas: a clubhouse, a sled, a lemonade stand. I like the line about the rain and the box getting soggy.
