Notes About The Poem

Arms Open Wide - For Art

The art of friendship one can own
     in warm silence, sepia tones.
Or very loud!
     with passion and wild music;
     painted vivid and with broad
     palet and brush strokes.
That is you, and I smile at you
     with arms opened so wide to embrace
     your unstinted munificence.
Nothing artificial, so much love.

Lisa Ricci April 4, 2017 at 5:53 AM Good Morning Darren. If love or friendship does not have unstinted munificence it is not love or friendship at all or as you say artificial. You stayed true to the title. Well done in its entirety including the marvelous attached image. You are the artist here as well. Well done. How are you doing Darren? May today be a low pain level day. Darren White April 4, 2017 at 6:23 AM Thank you, I have the best friends in the world, and sometimes you need to write a few lines about and for them... You've got SoupMail :)
