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.

Note: Just a small tribute to
all of you. In the middle of my
storm - you are there...

Matthew Anish April 24, 2014 at 10:41 PM 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 Lucilla Carrillo April 24, 2014 at 11:06 PM Thank you for reading. I love Art, I just can't paint, soI too just write....

Robert Pettit April 14, 2014 at 7:20 PM Nicely written Lucilla. If this is a group portrait of soup members, it must be very colorful. Lucilla Carrillo May 1, 2014 at 12:18 AM Yes it is. Sorry I'm late, but I am not well.

Frederic Parker April 14, 2014 at 5:17 PM 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 Lucilla Carrillo May 1, 2014 at 12:11 AM Thank you, sorry I'm late. Have not been well.

Carrie Richards April 13, 2014 at 1:50 PM 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. Lucilla Carrillo April 13, 2014 at 2:05 PM hank you so much Carrie; I never knew about this radio Blog, until I was contacted by Drake. I could not stay too long ,because of my illness. It was nice to listen to Demetrios and some of the other poets. Thank you for your support and prayers..... Lucilla
