I've proudly displayed many a picture on my refrigerator - kids and now grandkids. Nice whitney style poem Brooke.

Did you know that in most Native American cultures they did not even have a word for artist. To be an artist was just looked at as a natural state. And you are right- talent requires that we not shy away from our instincts.

I can see Sawyer losing his baby features and becoming more of a tot than a toddler. He is growing fast. This is a poem with a very good point. Some people just have a talent for certain things where others just want to. Good job. Brooke.
(You are going to need a very big box!)

Words of truth spoken here,
where the commentary is
instinct that surely comes
from the heart is the cornerstone
of the unlimited talent that lays
dormant in all.
Well done

I sometimes struggle with the point of these,poetic forms, I can see,the point in the challenge of getting as much as possible out of what is very limiting in its width and depth of expression! Your work is so much better in the traditional forms. I'm sorry for the tirade to one who is as eminent as yourself! But you do fulfil the requirements of this poetic disciple, I admire your view but not its sentiment. I believe that humans are more than animals, but sometimes less. Blessings, Roy.

Best to start them young. Sawyer getting ready for the canvass. Just wondering if he has ever drawn a picture of grandma and what does it look like? Too young yet I suppose. Drawing was never my thing no matter how hard I tried. I suppose poetry could be said to be branch of art that took my fancy. You are right. Instinct is a good teacher. Thanks for this. Emeka

    Emeka, thank you so much :-) He is just 21 months old, so the little drawing he has done so far consists of scribbles :-) Brooke

I couldn't agree more, Brooke! Interesting decision to format it this way, but it balances well. Trochaic hexameter with feminine endings? Great choice for this epigram of sorts. Sawyer looks like he's well-organized for the task.
