Ode to art

something for all who create beauty through expression

emotion reflected in vivid colours

spread across a canvas sheet

artist's perspective of life

portrayed in a beautiful work

harmonious notes fill a room,

musicians sorrows and joys,

dreams and disappointments 

formed into melody, sculpted into song

tears and ink,

laughter and paper,

words painted to flow

as the poet reflects

Art of many forms,

artists of countless disciplines

each one creating unique beauty

that looks deeply into the hearts of men

feel what they feel,

experience their pain,

take pleasure in their joys,

but never take them for granted,

for without them our world would be

a very boring place

Really nice.

beautiful. The way that we express ourselves is what makes us human. I love how you captured the emotion of all artist's when they make their work not just for the sake of art but for the sake of catharsis.

Nice ode, could also work as a stand alone poem with just the first three stanza's.
I'd say you've pretty much captured the "art"of the humanities here. Good stuff.

very true. i love the colorful images here. i think the stanza about the poet is my favorite. great write!
