An Arist's Inspiration

An artist needs an Inspiration
Whether big or small
To create works of great sensation
For people short or tall

But when an artist does not have
What he needs to create
It may be problematic, 'cause
Art's not left to fate

But when you find yourself in need
Of this sort of muse
You can get up off your feet
And go out on a cruise

Out there you'll see, that the world
Is a much bigger place
With lots of things to create
In almost endless space

There, I said it, now go off
And create some things of glee
And then you'll find your Inspiration
Is stronger than the sea

The Light

This is #2 of those poems.

The light is something
All of us can see
I do not really
Feel it close to me

As if the light
It was afraid to be
The sense of good
And immortality

The feeling of
Safe security
The one I do not
Feel close to me

Friends

This is poem #1 of the ones in my desk drawer.

A friend is something
Most us take for granted
It can also be a person, place, or thing

But I have friends that
I don't take for granted
And most times they make me want to sing

These friends make you
think of things you've chanted
And regret the things you've often said & done

So please, don't take
Your friends for granted
Unless you do not plan on having fun

Been awhile

It's been awhile since my last post, and I want to share a couple of poems I had found in my desk drawer that are pretty old. I probably won't be posting weekly poems anymore, not enough time.
