Crumbs of The Mind Creative Works of The Intellectually Gifted Indices and Submission Instructions Index by Author Index by Title Submit a Poetry or Prose Selection Crumbs of the Mind In November 2003, the theme of Crumbs of the Mind expanded from "Poetry and Prose of the Intellectually Gifted" to "Creative Works of the Intellectually Gifted." "Crumbs" will be undergoing a significant expansion and revision and will include a wide range of creative works, including: book excerpts drawing digital graphic art poetry haiku prose and short stories photography (including digital) painting mixed media artwork other creative works Gibran Kahlil Gibran said something to the effect that our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind. I would tend to agree with this. Whether or not someone is a poet or a writer "by definition" is somewhat of a moot point. What I believe is important is that the written word is yet another art form--one through which we can express our thoughts, our feelings, our desires. Just as an artist paints in colors on canvas, so a poet or riter paints in words on paper. If a writer or poet, however amateur, can effect an understanding, or paint a picture, or evoke an emotion, then they have made an impression on the world as surely as an artist whose painting hangs in a museum or a composer who creates a symphony. Creative Works of the Intellectually Gifted I believe there is much to be gained by the sharing of the thoughts expressed by those individuals with an intellectual gift. This gift is often accompanied by gifts of profound creativity and insight as well. While the purpose of this site is not to pass judgement as to whether or not any particular piece of work possesses a certain merit, it will serve as a "window" of sorts into the minds and hearts of the gifted and severely gifted. In addition, it will serve as a means for gifted individuals to share their thoughts and perspectives with others--perhaps to achieve a greater understanding or to share a vision or difficulty inherent to the gifted mind... perhaps for some other reason. Whatever the outcome, it is my hope that it will help create an understanding where there once was a void.
