Yes, Creativity is a Superpower!

  When I think about the things that have most made my life my life , creativity is tops among them.  Living a creative life is what brings me joy and pulls me forward and connects me to the world.  That's why I knew Charles Waters and I should include "Create" in our DICTIONARY FOR A BETTER WORLD: POEMS, QUOTES & ANECDOTES FROM A TO Z (Irene Latham & Charles Waters, illus. by Mehrdokht Amini, Lerner, 2020).  Here's the poem from the "Create" spread...it's a roundel ! I hope it inspires you to go forth and create...in whatever way suits you best.  Create Gather paint and brush, lift guitar and strum. Make something in a mad rush— who knows what—or who—you'll become? When you're creating, you can't feel ho-hum; the voice of your worst critic—you!—will hush as your imagination begins to thrum. Soon hope will gush, each new idea a ripe plum. Feel your face flush— Who knows what—or who—you'll become? - Irene Latham
