As you can see by the variety of poems, rhymes and simple prose we've been posting, anything goes.
There are no stuffy rules holding you back, there is no intellectual snobbery to be afraid of, no limits, no boundaries.
Words, the arts, the world is ours, we need to grasp it, embrace it and smash down the walls that hold us back, that keep us in our place.
For far to long the intellectual elite have ruled the roost, happy to feed us crumbs, accept our lot whilst they sit at the top table, greedily slapping each other on the back, protecting their precious little empires.
We must create an environment where creativity flourishes, where it feels good to scream, safe to shout, free from criticism, where the work of each and every one of us is accepted, valued and loved.
The arts in this country of ours should belong to each and every one of us.
It doesn't, and that has to change, and change pretty damn soon.
Let's all join forces, get off our backsides and do something beautiful.
It's not about any one person, there are no stars, no celebrities.
To do this we must all be as one.
Before it's too late.
