The enjambment you achieve here is outstanding (and I love enjambment), your word choies exemplary and your rymes perfect. The only deficiencies are bordering on revese syntax in three spots to place your rhymes where they belong, and the addition of the boring word {do} once to achieve the meter/flow of the line. You should edit to eliminate the latter.
All in all so close in my assessment to outstanding I would rate it 6*, but I lack one to award. Slainte, rhymer1

Once again, your excellent writing has captured the true "artist" and their amazing contributions. I am often taken aback by how much talent exists right here at FS.

Adding the 3D artwork was a brilliant decision and speaks nicely to your work. Best of luck in the contest. I think you are very talented!!

Hi Sue....there are so many kinds of artists but I usually think of my son when I hear the word. He is a good artist who has stopped painting for lack of time. Working and raising a family does not always lend itself to creativity. He always use to tell me I could paint if I wanted to. He believed since I was musically inclined I could also paint. He forced me to paint a picture....don't even ask me how that turned out! I like this poem...you did an excellent job of meeting the challenge. Good luck in the contest....blessings....chey

Hullo Sixteezkid ...

It is with pleasure that I award the 6th star for this well-written poem which it has been a pleasure to read.
There is nothing to suggest changing and the lines which I like most are ...

The passion artists do possess
Compels and drives them to express

I believe this is true of art in any form, including writing.
Thank you for sharing this with us. As it is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.

This is a great poem - I like the sonnet feel even if it isn't really one. (I'm really bad when it comes to the rules.) It has a wonderful flow. I like the rhyme. The picture is great.

Your poem was most expertly penned. But, then again they always are. Have you seen other art work like this in city sidewalks and parks? Just awesome! Great job on both my friend, your rhyme was superb!

A very good entry into this contes. The flowis reallygreat. Most often when a poem that has throughout been 4 lines to a verse and ends in two, it really bothers me, but not here, here it demands to be ended this way. Great job and good luck in the contest!

Excellent descpription of art and how it is incorporated into our lives even if we are not aware of it. We interpret things with our own perspective all the time, from the smallest leaf to the largest statue. joan marie
