Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time there was a g i r l. With face as pale as lilies white, eyes as blue as the seas. Hair that shined red in the sun, a g i r l who only wanted to please. Her dreams at night were filled with things that to others did not exist. Fairies, dragons, big black wolves, mystical creatures and ancient woods. She dreamed she was an angel who could bring the to life. She rarely felt important, she felt guilty for feeling so; to make it up she imagined she was a princess who could make sno… Continue

I Just Want To Fly (Let Me Go)

I just keep trying, even when I feel that I’m dying. Deep inside, a fire burns, yet at the same time, a mountain of ice grows ever thicker, ever stronger-ever colder. Always making mistakes, saying I’m sorry. Wishing that I could stop messing up. But that’s human nature-nobody’s perfect. But I wish I were. Because if I was then this fighting would stop. The two sides of me would agree finally. I could still be wild and free as I am in my dreams, yet still be the Christian I Know others see.… Continue

Soul of the Sleeper

He keeps walking along as the light fades, not even noticing the beautiful glades. Passing love and joy and peace, ignoring the words of those people he sees. Lost love, no hope, no future it would seem. His eyes no longer gleam with the light and warmth of the living. The sun sets, the light dims, and still he walks, passing by laughter, friendship, and hope. “Stay away!” Scream his eyes. “Don’t come near, me you must fear. I want to be left alone on this path, my walk. My life.” But if you… Continue

The Seasons

Summer Too hot, too bright Stifling I need to find some shade Too much of everything Autumn Brings restless, wistful feelings as though I should be doing something more I pace back and forth in my room, looking out my window as if expecting something...that will never come Reminds me somehow of immortality, like a season that will never end alone Winter Too quiet and yet Beautiful beyond words, the silence as if something is about to happen. Not and bare, just waiting, Col… Continue

A Quote, A Marble, An Eraser, and a Piece of String

An Ode to the teacher I knew who helped my love of books grow who read all the books I wrote and encouraged me to keep writing who inspired me when I had no ideas, helped me overcome my writer's block who complimented my artwork so much that I gave him one of my paintings to show my appreciation Ode to the teacher I knew who was so positive and outgoing who made me love English Class a bright light in the darkness of school days who had to quit his teaching job and finish college who finished… Continue

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.

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.

CTI Spotlight Artist Marina, July 1-15, 2008





One of the traditions at CTI that has helped us form a meaningful and yet flexible sense of community is the Spotlight Artist. It is not a competition or popularity contest of any kind but simply a way of drawing greater attention to the creative offerings presented so generously by specific members. Marina, our CTI Spotlight Artist for July 1-15, 2008, hails from Germany and is both one of our most generous sharers, with more than 80 photos at CTI, and one of the first to join our growing community.

CTI Spotlight Artist BlackBirdHyperdrive, June 16-30, 2008



One thing that has not changed at Creative Thinkers International is the sheer abundance of creative individuals and types that populate the CTI community. One of those individuals is the poet known as BlackBirdHyperDrive, our CTI Spotlight Artist for June 16-30. A visit to BlackBirdHyperDrive’s profile and a perusal of his blogs reveals a creative thinker whose works often explore such powerful themes as the transformative power of shared spirituality, philosophical introspection, and romantic perspectives in the lives of individuals as well as the larger society. We invite you to learn more about his words and world by visiting his profile at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/BlackBirdHyperDrive

CTI Spotlight Artist Marlive Harris, June 1-15, 2008



Our CTI Spotlight Artist for June 1-15, 2008, Marlive Harris, not only maintains a powerful literary presence on Creative Thinkers International but through her Grits.com site exercises such a presence all over the Internet. Among the many qualities that make Ms. Harris unique, valued, and welcome in various communities is her passion for promoting literary culture in general. She has accomplished this with written reviews, book trailers, podcasts, interviews, promotions, and other effective methods that blend a classical literary sensibility with innovative online technology. We are honored to present her as the new CTI Spotlight artist and invite you to learn more about her by visiting her profile at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/MarliveHarris .

CTI Spotlight Artist Robert M, May 16-31, 2008




Versatility is a quality we have come to associate with many of our members and Robert M, our new CTI Spotlight Artist, is one of the most versatile among us. The fortunate visitor to Robert’s profile page gains entry into a world of eclectic musical compositions ranging from classical European melodies and Indian ragas to jazz, rock, and blues. Moreover, as various commentators have noted, enough of his precision-crafted poems adorn the site to fill two or three volumes. We could go on quite a bit about his tailored background images, video choices, and the fact that he has established several groups at CTI. But rather than doing that, we invite you to explore for yourself his created wonders at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/RobertM

CTI Spotlight Artist Poetry Life & Times April 16-30, 2008


Our friends at Poetry Life and Times have featured a number of CTI’s members in their e-zine and, on top of that, have now been one of the great champions of modern poetry for some ten years. They actually have the archives to prove it! Their current issue not only honors one of poetry’s nobler traditions with its dedication to our very challenged "brothers and sisters in Tibet, Burma and Darfur,” but remains true to its mission by providing a platform for some of the most vibrant contemporary poetic voices on the planet. It is truly our honor at CTI to present Poetry Life and Times as our Spotlight Artist for April 16-30, 2008. The image of the monk featured as their main page profile image is borrowed from their current issue.

CTI Spotlight Artist Luther E. Vann April 1-15, 2008

(photo of Luther E. Vann by John Schmidt)

Often described as a poet who utilizes visual art to write his poems, Luther E. Vann is an acclaimed artist who was fortunate enough to receive some of his first art instructions from recognized masters of the Harlem Renaissance. Like all artists of note, he shaped what he learned into a style of his own that fuses deeply spiritual imagery, metaphysical philosophy, and strong social realism. After a lifetime of dedication to his craft, his work will go on exhibit at the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia, from April 16-August 17, 2008, and his first book, ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love, is scheduled for publication in May. We’re honored for the opportunity to present Vann as the CTI Spotlight Artist for April 1-15 and invite you to visit his profile to learn more about him at
