Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rhyme

Bizarre

Artists throughout the ages
purportedly with strange, and often tragic, lives–
lore’s pages.	 

Some from past files– 
Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Beuys–
quaint styles. 

We laud
them now in archives– 
Odd

Artists throughout the ages–
Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Beuys–
Odd

Duke Beaufort March 15, 2024 at 1:28 PM Linda, this in an interesting take on artists who became famous. So, I am wondering how odd we may be even though we are relatively unknown. It's neither here nor there. I am very happy to operate largely under the radar. Linda Alice Fowler March 16, 2024 at 8:44 AM Hi Duke. Thanks for reading and commenting. I believe we are all unique (= odd). Some more so than others and you are correct. It's neither here nor there. Under the radar is good. :)

Sara Kendrick October 12, 2020 at 4:09 AM Congrats on your winning work. Some poets were strange and did some unusual things as well. Sara Linda Alice Fowler October 12, 2020 at 6:04 AM Hi Sara. Thank you. Yes, all fields have their own set of free-minded individuals. That's what keeps life so interesting and fun :) Thanks for stopping by! Linda

Gershon Wolf September 23, 2020 at 3:16 PM Their lives were often quite strange. Why artists seem to gravitate toward such lives is beyond me. (Shows you who's not an artist here, I guess! lol). Well done, Linda. :) gw Linda Alice Fowler September 23, 2020 at 3:43 PM I think the artists of today still have a bit of the drama about them, even poets ;) Thank you my friend. laf

Kim Rodrigues September 23, 2020 at 9:32 AM There art is our attraction, drawing attention to their sad lives. Linda Alice Fowler September 23, 2020 at 11:18 AM Yes, interesting lives. Sad they received little monetary recognition until after their deaths. Thanks for the read Kim! Linda
