To My Artist Friend

You inspire me
To be inspired again.
Your paintings intrigue
And your titles amuse.

Your prolific creativity
Spurs me
To relocate my lost joy
And reclaim personal absurdity.

I'm still wandering a bit confused,
Shedding old responsibility
Like a much loved, but outworn,
Pair of old shoes.

Your colors, shapes
And playful words
Guide me back
Toward my neglected, sad muse.

Thank you
For keeping the art alive
And reminding me what fun
It is to run barefoot

In the odd recesses
Of the creative mind.
And maybe find
A like-minded friend along the way.

Publishing poetry

I have decided to take all of my poetry off of this blog in the hopes that I can find publication. I have found a few places that have accepted some of my poetry, and I am excited to be awakening, or acknowledging the poet that has always lived inside of me. Perhaps I will share now and again just for the shear joy of watching the words paint themselves across the empty page. Love and Light.
