Note: Phylor suggested to weave a tale from
inside the creativity of the artist’s mind. How
does it feel being on the inside looking out?
Sunday Whirligig's given words:
hears, dread, smothers hobbles
cane wanting, disguise, poem
One hears of the artist's mind
A revelation one dreads
It smothers clear thinking
Hobbles on a cane
That is what it is
Smitten by layers of ideas
All desiring to make an impact
Where clear thinking is found wanting
Confusion reigns
It can disguise itself but futile
Unless the artist gets it out
Onto canvas, paper or whatever
Out of his cluttered mind
It can be splashes of paint
or a classic poem that begets a title
only upon its completion
An easy way out is especially
rampant for the 'impressionists'
with a title as vague as 'Untitled'
That is an artist's mind
Joys of painting and joys of poetry
knows no bounds
Time given the luxury to manifest itself
Creativity is equated to craziness
And a masterpiece is born
Remember van Gogh?

Often a work of art attains a title upon its completion as we become aware of its intricate details.. its essence and its true meaning. Well penned :D
Craziness can sure help out a ton with each creative run
ReplyDeleteHidden in the art lies a creative mind
ReplyDeleteI love the hobbling on a cane! I enjoyed reading this poem so much, Hank. Thanks for joining in.
ReplyDelete"Creativity is equated to craziness / And a masterpiece is born"...ah...who can deny that....sigh....
ReplyDelete"Time given the luxury to manifest itself." This is only one of the lines I love about this poem. You outdid yourself with this one Hank. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo true that there are parallels between the joys of painting and the joys of poetry! This was an enjoyable read.
ReplyDeleteWe are all perfectly mad and all creators, great job Hank!
