the best art is squint
it’s ever so slightly off
making you want to reach inside
and straighten,
adjust
.
the best art is incomplete
missing some vital piece
a line of beauty to enhance
it’s design
.
the best art is imperfect
it’s ever so slightly off
it makes you want to improve it
and alter,
adjust

Creativity Dies Without Inspiration
I wander through the desolate landscape of my mind, lost and alone. Once full of life, a creative soul now withered and left to atone. The spark that drove me was flickering and faint. A dream within reach, fading into the unknown. But then, in my darkest hour, a glimmer of dazzling light reveals itself. A chance to revive, rekindle, and bring back my fading self. A trip, a journey, to find the muse I once knew. To pinch the embers of dying passion, the rebirth of the spirit anew. I pack my bags and embark on a journey of self-discovery. The path is winding and unknown, leading me to a new city. A city where creativity runs free and wild, in proportions well-beaten. A sanctuary for the wounded soul, for my heart and mind to be smitten. I land in an ancient hotel full of history and tales. At this hotel, the walls breathe storied mysteries and thrilling details. I unpack and let the ambiance wash over me like a tide. Gradually, my creativity started to turn and stride. I ponder the endless times I felt like giving up. When doubts and fears would take over and steal me of my write-up. But I never let them win, ever, did I let them control. I rose every time with my passion, to let it unreal, uphold. I recall the days when my channel was filled with life. When views and likes flourished, it seemed like a few upsurge strife. But then it was all taken away without warning, leaving me lost.

I think this is true for all types of art, including what we do as writers. Allow readers to make their own interpretations and think about how they would have written it. Those are my favorite kind of stories
Not me misreading squint as squirt. Goes well with your cover pic too 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside, your poem was, shall I say, perfect? All your poems and writings are perfect to me!
Loved this poem! It’s so true, the art I think about the most is exactly Iike this
YES! This is so true! I think of the art that really Impacted me and it always had something slightly off- just like you said!!!
Yes!!! This is so true! The books that make you chuck them at the sofa at least once 🫣🫣🤣
Hi, I thought this was gonna be about how if you squint art looks better! 👀 🖼 I don’t even know what I’m on about, but there was something else I read today on vocal about imperfection, but I can’t remember who it was by. Anyhow, this is great Kayleigh & relevant.. and I honestly feel like I see a face in the image above..if I squint! 😅😆
The title and the fact it was by you drew me in! so good and so true!
This is what makes us different than robots/AI... we find beauty in imperfection. Great poem Kayleigh
This is really good! A sense of hope and future delight. I reckon there's a lot more best out there!
