JWG's Tomorrow Today — Thinking of Art (a poem)

Wherein JWG would like to have the drive to be a true Artist.

Thinking of Art

Folk Art is the inspiration
To go home and begin a craft
That when finished makes you happy.
Even if you don’t share the work,
The accomplishment is a treat.

One’s efforts were pooh-poohed
By those who claimed that “Art”
Had to have refinement.
Many a hope was dashed
And never recovered.

Thinking of Art,
And not doing,
Is a pity.
A true Artist
Will have the drive.

I do write poetry and would like to turn my work into children's early reader books. Something always stops me from taking that next step.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

@ J.P. Miller.. Why do you feel bad for the residents who live near the proposed catering hall onRead More Edgewood, but don't care that my neighbor and I will have to endure the same if this assisted living facility goes up. Is one a little too close to your backyard ?

Assisted living is a good thing - they are not filled with drunken people, loud music....noise!!Read More Sit in a parking lot of an assisted living you will see that first they are not filled with cars. Honestly, having been through the system with parents and relatives, it is sad what happens to some of the people at assisted living or nursing homes. Relatives just drop them off and never visit. You'll get the occasional visit on maybe Christmas or Mothers / Fathers day, but for the most part they get very little foot traffic. And the people that work there tell the same story. But it is quiet. I would prefer an assisted living over a catering hall any day of the week.

how is this allowed!!! I thought sex offenders were not allowed to live or be within a certainRead More amount of feet from a school or park or playground???? This "person" is young also, born in 1990 so he might blend in by the high school. he raped an 11 year old girl and only got 2 years in prison.

I don't think the town has a say in it. That is the good old MTA.
