I have poetic license to drive you
Round the bend
Crazy
Bent truth
Stretching a little white lie to gargantuan
Big fish whoppers are way more fun
Poetic license to take a half awakened memory flash
A shadow of the truth
Embellish
Invent
Reassemble pieces of what might have been the truth
At least somebody’s truth
Poetic license endorses my truth
Which stands on its own
Far away from the literal
Truth
But that doesn’t matter
I’m licensed

very good one David, even though i read somewhere and really liked too that creative works should be based on reality or pure fantasy.
I like the grey areas where nothing is pure. How can fantasy not be partially attuned to reality and vice versa, after all? Rules? I don’t think we should agree to the constraints of somebody else’s narrow mind! Creative works are simply, utterly and ultimately creative.
