(Leaf 136) – Art Inspired

Following on from my last two
poems, this one continues the “art inspired” theme, something which I often
cycle back to when I attempt to write short poems. This one reflects upon the
relationships between artists, art, and creativity. These relationships can be
complex – psychologically and socially – and often seem to result in skewed
perspectives. I think one of the most difficult things in both life and art is
not so much the ability to see clearly, but perhaps more the ability to see eye-to-eye.
