Poetry and Art

It's funny how I speak in rhyme when writing a sonnet,
and hours after I think it's finished; I edit another line.
A perfectionist, I am not, but I blend oils repeatedly
until I've married a golden sunset to a silver moonrise.
In the elements of artistry, I am content and satisfied.

... and then a year later, one touches it up again... As Yogi Berra once remarked: "It ain't over until it's over." Perfectionism can get to be a habit, you know! Smiles, Gershon

Jenna, I love your line about blending oils to marry a golden sunset to a silver moonrise. Beautiful! Doing touch up now and then is only natural, but it is such a great feeling to experience the contentment of saying "it is finished". Some wonderful musings here.

Exceptionally fine thoughts, Jenna. I find myself thinking in rhymes most of the time. Sometimes, it can be unsettling! My attempts with the brush have been disastrous, so I'll stick with words!

Seriously, I sound like a silly goose, trying to rhyme in conversations. I love painting as another means of expression. Haven't done any in a while. Thank you, Milt.

Artists use paint to produce a masterpiece but poets use words to do the same, we stand back and touch up here and there changing a word or two before we're satisfied with our end result. You captured the similarities well Jenna. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Tom

Your assessment is totally accurate, Tom. They are similar in so many ways... each an expression from mind and heart. Happy weekend to you as well, Tom!
