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~

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.

The imagery of drowning in a smile and being a thousand kisses deep perfectly captures the feeling of being completely swept away by someone. Great write.

I echo the comment above. Great poem, Kelly.

this reads like a melody of passion I can feel it ❤️

I love this post Kelly; it is absolutely dreamy in a sensual ambience….
Warmly, B

If I only had an audience of one, I’d be content if it were you! Thanks, Nev!

This is sweet with a touch of trouble. “Red Dress” Nice

Hi Curt,

I really enjoyed this – it has such a dreamy, floating quality, I love how it moves from the soft, floating imagery of dreams into the sudden jolt of reality. “And then you said,” ‘Hi.’” The image of a dream as “fire in a red dress dancing barefoot” is striking and memorable. It feels like a brief, beautiful moment where fantasy and reality touch. Dreams inspire me. This piece resonates with me

This is somewhat like Déjà vu to me. Something kind of jolts you, but in a way, you’ve felt it before.

Beautifully penned, Curt. Amazing write my friend. Welcome to Stars Rite. Appreciate you.
