A poem inspired by the artwork of artist Romare Bearden. The Block II, 1972.


Poem Artwork


my life is beginning to look like
a romare bearden collage of sorts
heads pasted on bodies
broken pieces put together
in jagged configurations
a giant jigsaw puzzle
carefully arranged
stories extracted
and details
embedded

(c)2005 Berry

life and art are infused with each other's motion and form ... be true to thy own artform ...

The trick is to somehow make the life itself into a work of art as captivatingly lovely as Bearden's canvas or this poem:-) Sounds like your off to a good start.

I truly believe when we look back on it our lives really are a collage. The painting is excellent.

Haha! Sorry for laughing but I couldn't help myself. That is a unique, but honest, way to describe almost everybody in the world. A hodgepodge collage. Gotta love it.
