Sometimes the simplest of things can inspire creativity. Such was the case with this display of Easter ties at the Kater Shop in Logan, Utah.

Why buy a tie
For Easter time
When I can chase
Things that matter.

Like chocolate
Sweetly divine
Or better yet
Asparagus.

One tickles tongue
But makes me fat
The other keeps
Me lean and trim.

On second thought
I think myself
Ho hum no more
I’ll take the tie.

Flowers pretty
Adorn said tie
Symbol of life
I would not lie.

For Easter is
The dove conveyed
A gift of life
To live again.

Flowers pretty
Adorn said tie
Symbol of life
I would not lie.

Thoughts of inspiration come in many forms, and may be expressed in many ways. The collection of stories, essays, and poetry shared under Red Edge Perspective represents some of my personal efforts to Gain The Red Edge through creative expression. Thanks for letting me share.
