A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 157

Day 157: “Inside My Brain”

Crickets

My brain is currently crickets

Well actually it’s bees

And flies

Swarming

There’s noise and wind and stickiness and

It’s a ruckus

The sun is shining, though

There’s open fields

Wildflowers

Swarming and buzzing and swarming and buzzing

And the occasional cricket

When I lose my train of thought

Or lose the inspiration

Flies and swarming bees

I’d like quiet

And to not be at risk of being bitten or stung

Day 142: “Each Poem”

Each poem I write

Is a love letter to myself

It’s permission to explore

To dive deep

To be unapologetic

To be myself

It’s a chance to try something new

Write something new

To go back in time

To look to the future

All while being completely in the present

To escape into this moment

To know myself

To get to know myself

To have fun

Be fearless

Put myself out there

Be okay with putting myself out there

To be silly

Carefree

To learn to relax

Not take myself so seriously

Poetry is a magic wand

A powerful tool

I wonder who I’ll be when this is done

Day 139: “The Power of Art”

Art is subjective, yes

But that doesn’t make it less powerful

Something doesn’t have to make sense to others

For it to be meaningful to you

And something doesn’t have to make sense to you

For it to be meaningful to others

Art has the power to transform

And horrify

Move

And offend

It can bring out emotion

And indifference

What a powerful thing

Day 98: “Painting”

Sometimes I think I could be a painter

I like to wet my brush

And see what I can create

I always start from something else

Usually an Albert Marquet painting

I like the nature

Mixed with European architecture

I see how well I can mimic

I take creative liberties

Usually on the colors

And dumbing down the design a bit

To something more in my wheelhouse

I have a lot of fun

And am almost always proud of the finished product

Even if my paintings look best when you’re standing far away
