~Cultur'd Cure

You are the cure, like an abstract Dali

feeding my spirit as Monet's flowers

creative romps through Picasso's soul

soaring high above the extraordinary 

inking sonnets with Browning's bliss

plummet me to earth as Sylvia did

sing to me a Shakespearean stanza

wreck my mind with Poe like status

dancin' upon burnish'd Dickinson verse

clouds withdrew from the skies~ 

my mind reeling like a free bird's

took a step back in reality's time...

Heaven's rapture has kiss'd unto me

while I am not a "heaven's rapture" type guy, I think you and your creative mind have captured an "artistic rapture" of wonderful artists, writers, poets.. oh my Frieda, the images that are evoked just with the mention of Monet and Dali; the depth of pain and wonder of Plath, Shakespear and Dickenson, not to mention the horrors written by Poe... more than just personal favorites, they not only have captured the human spirit, but also aided in bettering that spirit, and making for a more beautiful world.. Frieda, in reading your poem several times I couldn't help but think that this poem has also aided us humans to see the world in a better way... very cool and wonderfully done... ~~redzone

Dear curt, I"m enchanted by your words, it's poetry in itself, thanks so much for your glowing review. And oh c'mon, I could see you wrapped in heaven's rapture for sure. ;-)

[redzone]

[Frieda P]

You have always been an A class writer and I am going to admit your writings are sophisticated and i feel privileged reviewing your them. Great write with vivid imagery that brings the words to life. the flow, rhythm and structure are all those things that make your writings Distinguishable.

Inspired aye. Plath was a gifted talent. Poe is stuck with a dark.label though he wrote love poems that were amazing. Monet ah just bliss and wonder abound. The best of best here and your talent sings fresh and springing to life artistry.

Ohhh....smooth as a peach and as delicious! This is unfolded beauty, the art alongside the emotion, works so well and the impact is just awe inspiring....a reeler! x

[Chandradhish Ghosh]

The beautiful world of a reader and a painter...nice!

[Rita L. Sev]

Art is the cure indeed - to all the inner ailments, and abstract love and beauty become concrete through the poet's stanza... This piece proves why you are in the same league as the Masters named here, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

I wish you could see my face right now Rita, you've truly humbled me with your kind words, I surely don't pay you enough my friend....many thanks. :-)

[Tai Ryens]

It sounds as if heaven consists of both fixated arts and unrestrained talent, differing between the two depending on the details that the artist chooses to write or illustrate, which may, in turn, represent emotions or phases of the relationship described in the poem. Well done.

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]
