Oh, this is exquisite. The life of an artist portrayed so beautifully. I was captivated by your truth and by the excellent writing. I love the way each verse of truth trickles dowen into the next verse. I could read it a 100 times. You are so right about artists. What you wrote remmnds me that the Bible says we are created in God's image and he is a creator. We are all little creators. You sure give credemce to that. Lovely work. (I may present another side for the contest, doesn't mean I disagree with you)) Good luck in the contest.

You don't mess around--your poem is focused on the contest's topic like a laser beam. I especially liked your phrase "By building bridges for mankind" with it metaphor and use of alliteration simultaneously. Your rhymes are so strong and special using many fresh words. Your title and accompanying picture are both inspired choices.

Sue, What a lovely tribute to the role of artists in rhyming couplets - I like especially your observation that the artistic nature resides in far more people than those who actually choose to exercise it. Art as a common language that builds bridges among people - I like that. Brooke

Great to see you back to regularly turning out skilful and profound poetry affter your short time off, Sue.
You're right of course, just like music, art and sculpture has no language barrier, though I detest some of this modern stuff.
Nice flow and great mesage. Love, ray xx

DETEST!! Now, THAT's a strong word! HA!! ahhh, the great world of art with plenty of arguments of what is and isn't art and what's trash and what isn't. HA!!! There is a lot of shit out there, for sure. In every type of art. Some you look at and just scratch your head and go, WHAT???? "I could do that!!!!" And it gets into a museum on exhibit! LOL!! Oh well, at least is ignites conversation. Thanks much for your very kind review, Ray. xxSue

I could walk down the street and drop my trousers, That would 'ignite conversation' (well, if anyone noticed, LOL) but I don't get paid a million bucks for it - just a short prison term. Whoops! The secret's out. :-) xx
-
Walking down the street naked is supposed to be a well-recognized dream, Ray! LOL!!
-
You're dead right, Sue. I often have that nasty one, on top of which I don't know where I live, don't have a penny to my name and everyone hates me. Good job I haven't any hang-ups or insecurity problems!
At least I can laugh at my own stupidity. ;-)
Anyway, gotta dash as it's time for a streak.
LMAO! xx

Dear Sue,
No hyena laughs on this one. It is beautifully rhymed, metred and composed. So that's what we are for. I suppose I should try to escape from my shallow comic verse and try to live up to your expectations, but it does seem hard....particularly them there "new paradigms". What's wrong with the good old ones I ask.LOL
"But maybe, if you keep on trying
I'll find myself somehow complying"
Regards
Reg

Sometimes, new paradigms are actually "retro"! Ha! This poem speaks to only a small part of what an artist's role is. The role is endless as art permeates everything tangible and intangible in this world. Glad I didn't hear any hyenas cackling!!! Ha! Thanks for your great review, Reg - Sue :-))

Sue,
This is an ode to all artists, including poets. The poem clearly defines the role of artists and their contributions to society, invoking responses from audiences.
The poem flows in perfect rhyme and meter. It was my pleasure reading your poem.

It's about time you started to think of yourself as an artist!! Silly you! If you painted, I'd love to see the "devilish" things that would be on the canvas!! Thanks for your very kind review, Hitch. Your friend, Sue
