Artful way

The process starts to explore

Colours outside the perimeter

Made in thoughtful stages

Mistakes are most welcome

Sudden unexpected delight

The shapes start to form

As it comes into focus

The process must go on

For the things that were

Not known until

A scribble was crafted

-Camille Delaquise

This poem appears in Behind the Facade, Camille’s debut contemporary poetry collection. Artful way speaks to creation as a process of discovery — embracing uncertainty, error and intuition as the very conditions through which something meaningful comes into form.

This poem is available as a contemporary poetry print on textured recycled card.
