New from Arkansas	Hi! I'm Trudy (Legend). I've been writing poetry since I was seven. Poetry has helped me to process the pains and triumphs of living. I'm a bit like a cow when it comes to processing information. I take it in, munch on it a bit and spill the digestion of the info on the page. The 1st poem always sux. I meditate on that processed info...then spill forth the further digestion of the same info. The second one is better, but still not what I want to say. Finally, the the breaking it down to its root comes, and with it, understanding. It feels wonderful to "get it." What am I getting at...the systems of the world and how "it" operates.

BREAKING THE FRAMES	They ride around On lightening bolt brooms Trying to keep wild colors Contained in conditioned rooms They absorb paint In their frames of wood Telling the liquid to be images That are pleasing and good Outside of the holy walls Colors run unconstrained Passion and evil become one In the life under no restraint The ungodly paint with sin The faithful color with virgin oil Sinners and Saints Are as different as water and soil The problem with painting Has nothing to do with color or line Faith and fear are exactly the same In the context of time The running to and fro Is always guided by a hand Faith frees us to God Fear staples us to man In the end we know nothing Of the result we longed to possess How disappointing for the framlings Who find their masterpiece has been repossessed Written by Trudy Schrader some time in 2009 Note: This is the 2nd poem in the breaking down of a concept. It's ok, but the 3rd one is much better. I won't bother with the 1st one...it's hideous.
