Hidden Talent

Hidden Talent

Some people have blockages to their productive output. As potential creative artists they deprive the world of the beautiful output that should exist for all to enjoy and cherish. Other artists do not share what they have already produced for many reasons which I will not explore at this time.

I recently read two poems written by a young lady. As a reader of much poetry, I deem these poems to be of high quality. Yet, at this time the poet will not consider having her works published. My role now is to convince her to submit her poetry to different publishers. There are so many opportunities to have poetry published. Another thought is to encourage her to read her poetry before receptive audiences; there are many in most cities in Canada and around the world.

Now for a quick quote from Pablo Picasso that I will share with this poet and others who hide their talents. “The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” And, a few words from Sonia Choquette that carry deep meaning: “The power of words is real whether or not you are conscious of it.”

I would encourage all writers to share their works. Is there a better time than now?
