Creation w/o Limits
Ideas, fruitful,
Pop, pop, pop.
Time divides them,
Tock, tock, tock.
Overstuff the
Sock, sock, sock.
Must learn where to
Stop.

I can get two meanings out of this, and I don't know which the author intended. Maybe both? In one, it feels like someone overwhelmed with creative ideas and having to decide which ones to prioritize. On the other, it speaks to me as someone who used to feel like this but is now lamenting a lack of inspiration anymore. The way "stop" terminates before the other lines in its position do is a nice visual trick.

Creation w/o Limits

Thanks for your kind review!
At the time I wrote this, I was immersed in an art project which was subject to feature creep; I had a lot of neat ideas but had to rethink them and restrict what would actually go into it if I wanted it to be finished in a reasonable time. (I also had to limit myself to very short works for this round, consequently.) This both expressed my frustration and reminded me of the sort of discipline I needed to practice to succeed.
Thanks again!
