Howard, your poetry about art and perception captures the intense experiences of creativity and inspiration. It implies that art is both enjoyable and consuming, as the speaker enjoys the beauty of pictures while battling with darker overtones. The artist's sensory experience, light and dark, and art's profound power are the topics.
