Ode to Grandpa Davis

Strophe

O Grandpa Davis who gave me my skill
My  art talents ,organic,  came from you 
Sorry I haven’t praised you ,now .I will 
Your art and talents I admire you so

Your art is an inspiration to me,
Once I lost my home; most of your art  gone,
 It should have been enjoyed for all to see ,
 T’is a wicked act ; I do frown upon.

Antestrope

Talent  is work and some inspiration ,
Organic ability not much proof ,
Work hard with lift no misinformation ,
If you believe all of it you got spoofed.

And talent  is one percent makes art great.
And work is sixty percent of one’s art ,
And skill is forty percent I state, 
All three in  harmony  is a good start.

Epode

O Grandpa Davis I wish you were alive ,
If dreams are gold meeting you is jive,
You died 5 years before I was born .
Seeing your art I was wowed-forgot to mourn.


In figure drawing  your skill is mythic
Your pastel work of your wife  is terrific 
And Grandpa Davis my ode to you is done,
It’ is time I  penned it for everyone.
