    Art, Humanity & Friendship

      Art, Humanity And Friendship   A friend once said to me her writings - poems, short stories; even how she dips herself in a variety of hues, then throws herself on a canvas, is more or less her memoir. Snips of her life taken, compiled, then thrown into the air for all...

    • Art to me is polished work and imagination in the same brushstroke. The best art remains for generations. It effects people in a way they can see something in life that grabs them and holds them. This includes writing as well.

      Nice one ~Relic~

      • Hi Relic/Tim (I am assuming from WC), thank you for your view on art. Yes, art should grab and hold (if done well) or as Ntozake Shange once said, “poetry should make you feel”. I think this is true for all forms of artistic endeavors.

        Thanks for your comment Relic and it’s nice to see you here at the SR.

    • You’re welcome, Curt (Redzone). And yes, It’s me. 🙂

    • Hi Fia, Relic is Tim’s pen name. He is one of the poets who has come here to SR from Writers Cafe. My real name is Curtis (Curt) and my pen name is redzone. Sorry if I have created any confusion.

      Yes, I think we write for ourselves (be ourselves) because art comes from within us, from our imaginations or from our lives. But I also think it’s our way of communicating to others. We bare ourselves to the world when we post or get a book published or in the many other ways that our poems are seen by other people. Yes, poems are “vivid” and should be. They should grab us, hold us tight and make us feel, and see the world though other’s eyes. I used to paint, but haven’t done so for many years now. I think about picking up the brushes every so often.

      Anyway, thank you Fia for sharing your views on art. And thank you for your visit to this poem, it’s much appreciated.

    • Art is a place for me where I can become more myself. Vivid in each pen stroke. Whether its poetry or stories. ( I used to draw, but that ship has sailed.) Nice piece, Redzone. Sorry for the confusion

    • Powerfully penned, Curt. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Thank you, Damian. And I appreciate your visit and comment. Both are muchly welcomed
