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.

Gershon Wolf April 2, 2022 at 8:45 PM ... 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 Logan April 9, 2022 at 8:48 AM and I refuse to hear the voice of a fat lady. lol Thanks, Gershon. I'm far from perfect.

John Watt April 1, 2022 at 11:33 PM 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. Jenna Logan April 2, 2022 at 5:12 PM Thank you so much, John. I've read some older writes and found things I thought made them better. I'm delighted you enjoyed my lines.

L Milton Hankins April 1, 2022 at 9:18 AM 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! Jenna Logan April 1, 2022 at 11:30 AM 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.

Tom Cunningham April 1, 2022 at 7:17 AM 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 Jenna Logan April 1, 2022 at 7:19 AM 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!
