The Artist

A drop of paint upon a canvas,
                              a sketch on a warn tattered pad.
                         It's been said that Art can be timeless, 
                        I say without it our world would be sad..

                               A drop of paint upon a canvas, 
                         to draw Gods beauty in your own hand.
                            To capture a rose in it's full bloom,
                         having such talent must feel so grand..

                               A drop of paint upon a canvas,
                                a reflection of the artist eye.
                                 To convey all the granger ,
                            in the dawn of the days new sky..

                                I stand in envy and in awl ,
                                and your praises I will sing.
                              For the gift that you possess, 
                               to the table, I can not bring

                           So please paint us your impression,
                                 of the life you see so true.
                            Give us something to live forever, 
                                 that is you, and only You..

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/28/2017 6:14:00 PM What a glorious ode to the creator! Well, as I see comments beneath, I guess you meant actual artists. But I hope we can take it both ways!

Ronald A. Williams Date: 8/17/2017 8:52:00 PM Truly poetic art indeed. A tribute to all arts, in all forms. Very, very well put on paper or pad. Login to Reply Glen Schwartz Date: 8/19/2017 5:43:00 AM Thank you so much Ronald for such kind words.. :)

Darren White Date: 8/13/2017 10:49:00 PM Art, in any form, written, painted, spoken, music... We can NOT do without. Great poem :) Login to Reply Glen Schwartz Date: 8/15/2017 4:29:00 PM You are so right Darren, I love the Arts Thanks for the read and the nice comment :)

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Date: 8/6/2017 11:40:00 AM Wow a fabulous true tribute to painters and artists. Indeed I marvel at paintings how realistic they can be in drawing n painting for I fail to draw n paint such real imagery. I can only write poetry confidently. I especially like your line, 'God's beauty in your own hand', wow. Awesome rhyming all through. Kudos. Pls do write your thoughts about my latest poem too, under it.

Indiana Shaw Date: 8/4/2017 3:35:00 PM A "Carpenter" is not a "Joiner" so "Glen" you are a artist in your own right - even better is the beautiful poetry that you write - Kind regards - Indiana x x x Login to Reply Glen Schwartz Date: 8/4/2017 4:19:00 PM Thank you so much Indiana , you are too kind :)
