I enjoyed your piece on artist and the gift the continuously give. If it's appreciated, art is nature and it's everywhere. I loved the addition of the picture, beautiful street art. Great job and good luck in the contest.

This is very well expressed. A lot of people have trouble with rhyming couplets and it seems forced because of it. That is not the case here. The poem moves smoothly and the rhyming couplets moves well from one line to the other. The imagery was very good and apt to your subject. Well done.

There is so much about art that is impossible to decipher, but your poem is a great key to much that is before us.
You have captured the inner voice of many artists and admireers.
Very well done....
Great choice of artwork, also.

There are many gifted people. The love of art and being able to create is a gift from God. Not all of us can do that. But we have other talents if we use them. Your poem flows well with great rhymes. V.A.

My closest male friend is an artist who shows in many galleries throughout Texas. This poem says what he has and shares so well. Thanks Sue. Jude

This is a really great poem. I try to express my self through visual art as well as writing. I love to paint and draw, it's a different kind of challenge than writing but I think they each have their own degrees of difficulty. I wouldn't pick one over the other. Great job on this!

"they seek to find a voice, their own, to be refined"...that really says it all. It doesn't matter if it is painting, music, writing, or whatever form of art.....the individual voice needs to shine through, and evolve. Great poem!

How true it is that artist are a driven people. I feel the same way about my writing. It is a little thing that wriggles until it gets out. Great poem.
