i love art.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here

i love art. belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, WMG and Woman Appreciation

i envy a great artist,
wishing that i could create
as they do.

from just an idea
sprouts some form of reality,
and to some it is art
and to others poorly thought.

inspiring me to realize,
that only the artist
has to believe her art is art,

for it to be so.
