I hope this is ok...
I'm posting this to advertise my blog, which is where all my writing shall be from now on. I hope you check it, and if you like it, check it often.
A sample poem:
Brush-Strokes
Here in this foolish, flawed frame of Hell,
We fell and felt the fall,
Not mindful that we were made
With the widest of brush strokes.
Is it the frame or the painting that shows the value of the piece?
Within this black, cracked square
Of rat-eaten rotten wood
Is contained a canvas coloured
With all the marvels of twilight.
The artist displays the piece---
---Is it art?
The brush-strokes reveal the beauty
Of the design, defined by the divinely inspired desires
Of the artist, and
This wretched wooden frame
Frames the beauty and contains it.
The colours and the canvas encased in corruption:
The picture-frame and the painting are together one piece.
The eye takes them both in---
---Is it art?
