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

The Artist Said
For sparks of joy to which our hearts have hold,
Like fireflies which the flows of time ignore,
And soon forgot, the moment we are cold,
The artist said, "Of this, I shall know more."
For vast unkindness which shall often come,
For not of justice is life's vessel full,
Which those afflicted would of it be numb,
The artist said, "I'll wear

Creative Communication
We poets, writers, misfits of the world
like artist or mystics or troubadours
use our gifts to give insight to others
we offer more pulling back the covers.
We did not fit in with most of our peers.
When young we were often taunted to tears.
We often were quiet in our own zone.
And most of the time you’d find

Montreal is calling
Montreal is my favourite city ~ a mix of old and new.
I love its architecture which graces it with style and unique character.
It's got more than its share of cathedrals, pubs and restaurants.
It boasts a vibrant mingling of local and exotic culture.
Well known to be the hub of exquisite cuisine and fine dining.
Montreal gathers artists

Greater
I looked at her, her angel voice still playing in the sound room.
She sat surrounded by the band, just like we always do.
Her songs were mesmerizing, she had everything to make it,
and in that moment God gave me this truth -
“No matter what, the songs we make are greater than the artists”.
The words

Unwillingly willing
"300"
But this won't suffice..
"It isn't exotic to pay such a price"
How my sleepless nights and joy forgotten
If this isn't sold my family shall be trodden
The society seems correct when they say
This "mere hobby" will not pay
What special lies in these brushes and blobs
They say
And I like a fool listen in dismay
"Anyone can sketch

Artists Inborn Or Reborn
Artists are inborn and probably
Reincarnated from a past life
And their artistry talent gifted naturally
That's why their artistic talent
Are indescribable, unexplainable
And never cease to amaze many
Just like any child prodigy
Musicians too which is slotted
In the art category, they're awfully
Geniusly talented and gifted to the core.

ARTISTS AND CANVASES
May we be blessed to understand how we are all artists
as well as canvases…incomplete
How we paint a little of ourselves on everyone we meet
And how everyone we meet…
paints a little of themselves on us as well.
sometime the strokes are bold and colorful…
sometimes they’re so subtle it’s difficult to tell.
And how it doesn’t matter if

Entrapment videre licet fiendish
gnarly hustling scheme erector -
sent me to the poor house, where alms
not forthcoming to ease financial affliction,
where yours truly money matters still stymies
ways and means to relocate
to a two bedroom apartment
courtesy low income housing.
Eleven months ago to date,
I fell prey to the wiles of a scam artist,
who
