Notes About The Poem

10 Important Elements of Poetry - Poem Analysisimage from poemanalysis.com

THE ARTIST'S WAY

THE ARTIST’S WAY* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *You can write into the air. You can speak upon a page. A painting can be a novel. A story can paint the perfect picture. Dance can express deep emotion. Emotions can stir deep movements with a chance observer. We dream in deep metaphors and visual puns. We weave them into stories that speak to our very souls. Artists tell those stories with or without words. That is the artist’s way.
*Note: Poem originally written for Pen Women Magazine, a publication for the members of the National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) 9/27/23. (nlapw.org/2023/09/27/featured-poem-the-artists-way). *Some words abstracted from descriptionari.com

After all, at this point burning the flag is still protected by freedom of speech --- of all things. Trump's trying to change that. He may well succeed... I, for one, hope he does.

Indeed, artists have unlimited tools, ways for creative expression. The artist himself defines the freedoms and limits. Great inspiration.
