Notes About The Poem

Notes: some of Hitler's paintings came on auction today, and it made me think how people can be so artistic and lovely in expression and music, and then so evil in actions. ( Wagner was also a Nazi) These actual painting might indeed be frauds as well, so this ties to Trump in more ways than one, and his supporters.

I find it astounding, I know many lack any artistic or poetic abilities, yet express such flowerily words of beauty, just like many of the Nazi's, it goes to show beware of those filled of such hate that lurks within.

 

Beauty and the Evil Ones

Beauty and the Evil Ones


A poet weaves such wondrous words
flowing of milk and honey
of enchanting places
soothing moments
filled with love invoked memories

Majestic symphonies of wonder
cadenza's weaving the imagination
Wagner, a musical genius sayeth so
softly painting beauty in musical tones

Overtures of compassion permeate away
such artistic brilliance buries the mind
of those whose insides are maliciously dark
pure evil pervades their bone

The painter of valleys
rivers and mountains in pastels
simple yet provocative in their tranquility
Hitler of the rose gardens
evil through and through

Charlie Smith January 27, 2019 at 9:24 AM I'm no art critic, but I see now why he had to change his career path. The only redeeming value in these pics is in a historical perspective. Great write Arthur...

Mystic Rose Rose January 27, 2019 at 2:16 AM People have many facets hidden inside of them, Some good some bad, we are made up of many things and many emotions. Choice is crucial here, and Hitler, he was a legend for evil, there is one in every era. Thanks for the enlightening poem, Arthur. I didn't know Hitler did paintings. Or did he ?

Nette Onclaud January 26, 2019 at 12:32 PM art, i was going to write about hitler's passion for painting but he failed to enter a fine arts school in vienna... it would have been funny since his works were out of focus, devoid of creativity, etc.. and your poem, splendidly done!..huggs

Daniel Turner January 26, 2019 at 10:07 AM Don't get me wrong I am NOT defending Hitler but there is good and bad in everyone. Most of us suppress the bad, some thrive on it. Excellent poem Arthur as are the paintings. Hoping you are well.
