Untidy Desk Means Creative Mind (I hope)

Untidy Desk Means Creative Mind (I hope)

They say a neat and tidy desk
Can be such a pleasant working space
But it has never been an option
That I have had to embrace.

I work in organized clutter
A collage of disarray
A medley of miscellaneous mishmash
What else can I say?

Everything to me is interesting
And I like it close to me
In order to be inspired and creative
It’s uniqueness I love to see.

Odds and ends from long ago tasks
A conglomeration, a catchall, a blend
May seem like a mess , I confess
But each item to me is a friend.

I can use them to paint a picture
That colors can’t paint with a brush
But to see the varied accumulation before me
Always seems to give me that creative rush.

Now I understand my friend, mangobadango, better. She'll definitely appreciate this one. She may be tempted to hang this one near her desk at work.
