Forty Word challenge

Author: shadow1950

To write with restriction
Is good discipline
you ask for 40 words
no subject is given
so scribe hat I don
thoughts flow as pen
touches the waiting paper
blobs are now born
a new illusion
creates a new poem

It's quite amazing how we construct a poem. So many styles with many restrictions, however can creativity and complexity coexist together?
