walking artwork if you ask me
Bubble balloon buffoon did not need jester hat
His costume designed by merry Cheshire cat
Argyle socks created by cirque du Soleil
Splattered paint on coat has much to say
A walking artwork, enhancing this weird Tuesday.

Beneath the Rubble
Beneath the Rubble
Unfinished artwork waits on the shelf,
Hidden between dark pages,
Scribbles on paper long to be free.
As a lover waits, it too waits,
For the breath of life,
Seasons pass without promise.
In

Interview With An Artwork
Most of the day,
Alone on this wall we stay;
When the doors open wide
Shy colleagues ,behind curtains hide;
On view for all for free see
Our lives, on show for all to see;
On the seat ,over there,they sit
Often bored,only their kids will admit;
Silence is the rule in our home,
Our photos and bios well catalogued;
Up close into my

Memory and Artwork
Memories are being snipped like flowers.
Putting together shades that scent like oil.
Melt almost like yolks pleading on towers.
The work depicts the many threads of hours.
The solder between brushstrokes and bowers
Fear behind the helmet till its touch spoil
Memories are being snipped like flowers.
Putting together shades that scent like oil.

Devotion Poem, This Painting I Do
*** This Painting I Do ***
(A Devotion Poem for Jim)
It is my heart
Painting your portrait
Out over this paper
After I caught your profile,
When you weren’t looking,
Casting your attention
In another direction,
While I

Artwork
I am a work in progress, but still and always a work of art. I will blend, and smudge, and add layers and layers of color and shapes influenced by my emotions. Thoughts and feelings piling onto the canvas as days and weeks and months pass. Each addition of paint or experience only make the

A Creative Outlet
Pencil strokes and midnight tokes
My mind is in a daze and my heart is broke
Pages penned in the wee hours of the morning
Getting lost in art is a form of mourning
My brain shuts off and everything is quiet
Without an outlet these emotions riot
It may not look like much in the moment
But these memories are mine

Brutalist Artwork
To French cast Frederic Berjot.
You made iconic art statues, venerable.
You had no idea what was impossible.
Your Iris bust's cast centrum inherit
Within the void that is my spirit.
Only raw art may cure soul abyss,
I adored each shattered artifice.
Shape may your lust conjure,
holy ecstasy is codified by a codger

Natures Artwork
Painted ponies
across the plains;
splashes of color
against an azure sky;
an equine convention
in the clouds.
Stratospheric
abstracts meet
with colors to produce
ecstatic paintings.
Nature’s canvas
is everywhere and
She paints life
with vigorous
enthusiasm.

Unplanned Tree Planting
By George P. Lumayag
The birds tweet to the architect
to support Urban Tree Planting.
Its principle to plant trees is innate;
but a tree on the gutter symbolizes
of unplanned tree planting.

The Church Listens
By George P. Lumayag
Pressing letters, logging in the sites, and learning on the virtual class,
the online approaches are my tough worries when I have no mobile data.
I need enough load, I need a stable signal, and I need a sponsor.
It's because that no one from my blood could fully support my studies.
I believe that the

Write on me - I’m a blank page,
here to meet expectations.
Scribble, erase - copy and paste,
refine me with your impatience.
I’m a canvas for you to paint on
make of me what you will.
Make of me art - I’m ready to start,
paint me into a corner.
Showcase me in your gallery -
display what you've acquired.
I'm a mannequin for
