Transience

(Dedication: For my niece, Joan Chong) -------------------------------------------- Pleasant feelings surge in pretty ideas; Obscure panache seeps in artwork design; Sensuous driven purge of mind forms fit here; Touch of purpose deep as artifacts mime. Choice of abstract art in fluid emotion; Align round sure text with sublime hinting; Rough edges now start to merge with passion; Drawings that hurl next feel after filling. Display moments sharp when movement collides; Etchings in grey scale that allude bold spills; Such pregnant art harps upon thoughts that stride; Indulgence tells tales in magic that thrills. Gifts of transcendence in mortal careers; Now change sparks cadence in outcomes right here. Leon Enriquez 08 May 2014 Singapore (Note: This poem is an Acrostic Sonnet.)

Dear Monterey: Yes, my niece is a very creative artist. She spent 3 years studying digital design at the local Polytechnic. Then, she read design at the NTU. She will be graduating in her 4-year Honours degree with BFA in visual communication by August this year. She's having a graduation showcase exhibition this weekend at the university. I am going to have a look-see. Yes, she's a gem! Thanks. Leon
