The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Creative Process

What of the process creativ?
Swirling conjurations embellished
with odd thought ornamentation
the thrust of the flow quickly 
scribed in charcoal contrails
filled with watercolor panes
gently textured around the edges
until a passing emotion strikes
the canvas into reverberations
dusty rose washs umber shadows
while brilliant choices rise
architecturally from a ruminating
perspective circling the bobbing 
possibilities of fading afterimages
golden laurel petals dry upon stems
like cheerful tears while seed husks
of lost seminal thoughts evanesce 
beyond the horizon of consideration.
