Angel of Earth Days and Seasons

A soft dream of green

colors starlit intentions

with sincerity.

In your hands winter

is a book with cloud pages

that snow pearls of love.

Your flight shines classic––

composed of symphonic nights

and honey-hued days.

Inside your laughter

spring’s kiss animates the beat

of summer’s warm song.

In your hair oceans

leap with sky-blue abandon

and… Continue

A Coat and Shoes for Halloween

halloween pumpkin face image pictures, backgrounds and images

Watching his reflection waver

on heat waves of the old man’s soul,

the young man sweated poison and said,

“I’m naked old dawg, give me your coat!”

Twice around the sun like an ancient notion

U.S. President Barack Obama (AP photo by Richard Drew)

In what some are describing as a stunning choice, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Oslo, Norway, awarded its 2009 Prize to U.S. President Barack H. Obama.

Obama is the third sitting U.S. president, behind Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson in 1919 to win the award. He is the fourth president overall after Jimmy Carter won it in 2002. Former… Continue

Princes and Poets of the Realm

The late Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy's memoir True Compass.

When word came of the death of Senator Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy (1932-2009) last week, I did as I so often do when hearing about the passing of someone whose life had a major influence on my own––I reached for my pen to write a poem or short essay in tribute to the great soul. I had already written several for Michael Jackson––including the… Continue

Sculpting the Heart

Expressing ourselves creatively does more than bring us joy. It is just plain good medicine. It helps us resolve inner conflicts, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness. Even Jesus reminds us, if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. What you do not bring forth from within will ultimately destroy you."

I personally believe being happily engaged in writing and art making is better than not; and secondly, living without depression, pain… Continue

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES

1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
