An Artist

An Artist If I was an Artist, this is what I would do. I would paint a portrait of a beautiful world just for you. It would have some very special people that would honor you. The people I'm talking about, are the ones in Poetry Soup. Some of their faces I have seen and some I have not, but I have seen their souls. In my portrait they are very special, for different colors they have. They have the colors of friendship, kindness, love and caring. These are the people that are here for you, when you need them. They can become your friends, once you get to know them. My portrait is now finished and very beautiful it looks. If you look very closely - you can almost see their souls. In my imagination of an artist, I have painted all of you. 04/08/2014 written by Lucilla M. Carrillo Note: Just a small tribute to all of you. In the middle of my storm - you are there...

Poetry is a good way to make friends - I have been to many poetry readings and have made friends - and some enemies too. My sister can paint - I doodle but fear I had better stick to writing. Peace & Love Mattthew Anish

Nicely written Lucilla. If this is a group portrait of soup members, it must be very colorful.

this poem is written by someone who gives to others, one must have a kind soul to see that in someone else...artist by nature are sensitive, some overly sensitive to give to others without fear takes strength and empathy...seems you have both....nice to have read this poem and to have seen your heart..Frederic

Dear Lucinda, this is such a lovely dedication to all your lovely friends, and as beautiful as you yourself. May I be one to tell you how wonderful to hear your voice on Drakes show this morning, and what a gift to us all that you are, and will be for many years to come. I do believe it will be so, and send my wishes and prayers during your difficult but hopeful storm. Thank you for your beauty.
