Spirit

There was a book I read once, “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” by David Sedaris. It gave me the realization that imperfect speech can carry its own effectiveness. Just the title alone did that for me.


Poem Artwork

Digital art - 'Canary,' by djl
When the theater lights go down, the spirit of the arts shines on.

 

Spirit

This canary she been singin'
her song of cage and clip of wing,
that's what she do.

...well...Those titanic violins,
they keep on playin'
'til sea water be takin' them, too.

Wonder if we could translate what that canary is singing. Probably, "Hey out there! Somebody come to my rescue, these are nice people who keep me in food, but keep me locked up in this cage for too long!"

Short but full of information about the way things are, or may be. Intriguing. Love the vernacular.

There is something about your artwork that is compelling. I wish I could explain it better; perhaps it doesn't need explaining, just indescribable can serve as my compliment.
