Poetry and Art

Hello, and I dont' know exactly what I am doing here, or how this should run.. But my intention with his community group is to allow people to share their inspirations with poetry and art..not just one or the other, but both.. as an example I am posting "Solemn Father" where I post the painting or artwork first and the you will have to scroll through to read the poem.. Again, just an example..do as you please..But the point or assertion here is that in this group they kind of go hand in hand..

Thump Part One And Two

Post image 1

part one, and part two..now combined.. enjoy..

Clickity Clack,

Bumpity bump,

Hit the drum,

And feel the Thump...

Clackity click ,

Don't hit that switch,

Flipity flop,

Don't let it drop.

Bambity bam,

My name is Sam.

Sam I am.

That's who I am.

With blues and greens and golds and reds.

Don't let this story

go to your head.

With a thump in time,

I can change my mind

With a thump in time,

I can change your whine.

With a thump in time

I can change this rhyme.

With a thump in time

We can blow our minds

With a thump in time

We can change these signs.

With a thump in time

We can let love shine.

So that's it for now. Thanks for listening and thanks for suggesting to keep going from others on the site..

Thump

Post image 1

Clickity Clack,

Bumpity bump,

Hit the drum,

And feel the Thump...

and that is all for now, haven't decided to add any more yet... but here is an idea? if anyone who reads feel like they can add a line or two, I think i will take a look and see if it fits..the intention of the piece was to express what a point of sound..like "thump" might look like....not necessarily what it might sound like..although my feeling is that the two may go hand in hand.. and as for the poem, the thought I have about this one would be to make it little whimsical.. so as I have written.. new words acceptable.. and if this piece strikes a different chord in someone, I am very open to here your views..Thanks folks.. keep creating..

The Travelers

Post image 1

Two pass by, unobserved by most.

Two bind together and travel on a soft blanket of silk.

The smallest forms on a river of nothingness.

Still with no movement, no rhythm and no design.

But something happens when they enter the blanket.

Forms of patterns start to appear. Ripples of a long lingering chain evolve.

Before there was nothing to show they were ever there. Now a pathway is left.

The blanket marks their journey and the light and shadows come to life.

We too pass by and on our journey leave a pattern, a mark and a story.

The smallest forms on an endless landscape.

We leave a design, a pattern of a life and nothing is ever the same.

Hell group... just a new one I have posted on my page.. A raindrop falls.. I am working on a poem for this one now.. to follow.. but as a side note I find it very interesting as I look at this piece and try to decide if it finished or not..? I have posted here, now, but I may return to add something later after the poem is written..not sure yet..we will see.. glad to see the group starting to take shape..

Languid Eyes ..poem and piece

Post image 1

why try at all?
when tempestuous fates discuss this fragile tale...
against a dying star he rests,
to discuss a days warn love..
loves lost longings and simple regrets.
regrets that forget to be known in the past..
and simple cues deliver heaven's message..
one step,
and beyond the mantle you rise..
above the heard,
above the risen,
a simple life that beckons,
blessed by nature's kindness.

and that is it.. a simple poem I wrote the other evening..I though it kind of went well with the eyes i created..hope you enjoyed..

So this is a repost of something I put in another group just thought it appropriate to put it here as well. A different feel now that the new features have dropped.. pauses and lines now more readable. Keep sharing..

So here is what I am thinking may be effective using this site. Your painting or artwork first and then scroll through to the poem. But of course, we should be open to alternatives. Open to anyone who wants to post their poem and piece, but please let us try to stay on topic. They should coincide in some way. At least that is what my intention was. So post away. I am sure I will be adding more at later date..
