Poem Artwork

To Read

 

…when I read

I read of life

I read of time

…toil and strife

I read of the dead

of the living too

I read about me

…and about you

I read about love

In the midst of war

I read of a day

…hate will be no more

I read of the Gods

their master plan

I read of passions

…of the simple man

I read to feed my mind

to nurture my heart

I must read to live

Life a la carte…

I loved your concluding line Fee ... it is like a menu of choices when we think about reading and all we gain from it ... the picture which inspired you is absolutely amazing, as well. Wonderful poem, like the menu itself, filled with possibilities (I'll have one of these, and one of those ... etc.) Nicely done. Hugs, Lizzie :)

I sometimes wonder if we write because we read so much...or if we read because we write so much. In any event, Fee, this is a good one and I love the photo.

Love the painting, too. Maybe someone will have a clue. I'll bet Julie Shavin would know since modern art is her world.

You showed well here some of the reasons we all read, and when you think about the whole process of writer and reader, it's a pretty magical thought, and this artist knew that as well. Another publishable one for sure, this is tight and flows perfectly.
