beyond the brushstrokes
that everyone lauds
and the shading
that garners applause
exists the artist who
has always felt lost
//
producing ever an
award-winning portrait
and striving for a
chorus of “gorgeous”
the bond between Art
and Purpose: distorted
//
she just wants others
to know her name
she uses dark colors
to hide her shame
is it fair that prominence
is her endgame?
This is a series I’m calling “Write the Damn Poem” where a take a list of prompts and make a poem. They’re all first drafts that maybe will turn into something more! We’ll see!
This one was based on a theme called, “tradition” and my two friends and I made art together (virtually) of course. I ended up writing this as a song in the 30 minutes of allotted time and I’m amazed that I was able to do so much! Definitely makes me want to pan more art making parties with my pals 🙂
