Artist Within

Listen to poem:

Artist wannabe I’d love to look the part Feel and act the pro Feel it deep within Imbued with inspiration Exploding with creativity Living the life of a hermit Ploughing through it Or dancing through it Not bound by rules or confines One day I know I’ll shed this heavy cloak And live the way I’ve dreamt Abandon all possessions Become the butterfly I was always meant to be Freed from shackles Just create create create Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~TO BE YOUNG AGAIN~ 2023 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on December 31, 2018 for contest MY LOUDEST FEELINGS sponsored by CAREN KRUTSINGER - RANKED 2ND Originally posted on December 12, 2018

Yes, even look the part. Now you might laugh but long before I began writing seriously I’d picture myself in a billowy blouse next to a window opening to the ocean...a poet...lol! Congrats, Line!

Can I go with you? Where does free land exist these days, where we could live as artist hippies? I'm IN. Loved this, related to it and completely inhaled it. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
