Glen Schwartz Poet Ode

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..

Becca Teagan October 4, 2017 at 8:39 PM I always wished I could paint. But instead, I try to paint with words. Which you did, here. I love this, Glen. Glen Schwartz October 6, 2017 at 8:32 PM Thank you so much Becca, Philadelphia where I live has a beautiful Art Museum . I love to go there and I just stare in awl of the beautiful works of art :)

Glen Schwartz September 25, 2017 at 9:16 PM Thank you so much Sunlite, it's so nice to be read and even nicer to be missed .. You are dear to me for that.. I am working My real job so hard that I have 5 poems started but no time to finish.. Just quiet is all, I never left :)

Andrea Dietrich August 28, 2017 at 6:14 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! Glen Schwartz August 28, 2017 at 8:00 PM Thank you Andrea, You sure can.. I love all the arts , but it's the painting that I wish I could take part :)

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

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

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri August 6, 2017 at 11:40 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. Glen Schwartz August 7, 2017 at 3:54 PM Thank you , Art is a talent I wish I possessed also :)

Indiana Shaw August 4, 2017 at 3:35 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 Glen Schwartz August 4, 2017 at 4:19 PM Thank you so much Indiana , you are too kind :)

Arturo Michael July 30, 2017 at 7:30 PM You are pretty much an artist yourself...You've described it very well. Thanks for sharing...Good night Glen Schwartz July 31, 2017 at 2:12 PM Thank you so much for your kind words, But I'm just a regular Carpenter :)

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 30, 2017 at 11:45 AM Nice :) "Earth without art is just eh" Glen Schwartz July 30, 2017 at 1:47 PM Exactly :) Thanks for reading me :)
