A Question of Artistry (part II)


Artists
Among
Artistry

Delving deeper
Into the space
Where art
And ART
Meet

Does a spot exist, amidst the boils of creation, for respect?

Or will the Artist, flee from tradition—
To expression’s end,
And find value
In the incorporation
Of the old with his new artistry

Will a jade pin collapse
The pore-like jitters    *Conscience)

And will the tingles properly
Illustrate what mind believes
May be inappropriate if not damnable

Or will
The Artist
Create
As he’s always done
And has
Always been encouraged to do
Or will he abandoned

All he ever knew to know
All he ever knew how to be

  3. Where art and art meet, that was great. Really made me think of the art of the universe and then the muse of ones own art colliding and making a spectacle. Or on the flip side making a huge pile of dung, but they won't get hung as it's always liked by someone, just look at the abstract stuff, pffft..haha
