Why write and why write creatively?

Writing provides a platform for ideas and a channel for communication. Different perspectives can enlighten us, teaching us, It can inspire as well as educate.

The Bee

 Busy like bees

buzzing with ideas

The writers pollinate our lives

with the sweet honeyed words

Collecting the pollen

From our floweris of emotions

Taking them back to

The hive of creativity

Where they blend

Sweet nectar to concepts

Stored in the

honeycomb of books

Ruled by their queen

of entertainment

They pollenate

Our dreams with wonder

Why can this be of help to someone with Parkinson’s?

To communicate, to keep the brain active, self therapy and more. Parkinson’s UK should be congratulated for a clever approach to wellbeing. I am delighted that they allowed me to help put it together.Now it’s time for me to stop . Have a look for yourself via this link.
