My dream space
would have a fireplace
& lots of great art on the wall,
It would be a salon
for creative souls
I’d welcome any & all

Kaleidoscope
I love kaleidoscope colors
lit up like a neon sign
bold & bright
Splashed on a black canvas
that’s dark as the night

We Are God’s Handiwork
Let’s all love one another,
and come together in peace
Let’s celebrate the One who made us all
and the diversity of His artistry,
Expressed in humanity
To the Lord Almighty, let All Glory Be

Unspoiled Beauty
Brown mountains rising high
Above a river that’s surrounded by
lush green on every side
Unspoiled natural beauty
a majestic sight to see

This poem was inspired by a photo that I saw recently that just looked awesome
Rockwell
I was looking at a picturesque scene
A Norman Rockwell painting
There was something about it, so serene,
beautiful, comforting
I love the way art can evoke such feelings

Refugee (Alternative Title: Talk Is Cheap)
Johnny is a refugee of many sites online
Where he used to share his poetry
They all seemed great, initially
but then they went dark so quickly
A few months, a year, or a mere few weeks
They promised big things, but talk is cheap

Taking Off Like A Rocket
His art and rhymes taking off like a rocket
Putting a little scratch in his pocket
He believes greed makes people act the fool
but he will admit green can be a helpful tool
Keeps a roof over his family’s head,
keeps them all fed
buys a cup of coffee & a loaf of bread,
at least he’s not lying homeless, or in a gutter dead

Gotten Me Here
It’s not always easy having a writing or art career
before finding success, some people take years
but the key is persistence, going all in despite your fears
I’m forever thankful for the people
who gave me the encouragement
& criticism that I needed to hear
both things in equal measure
have gotten me here

Chaos
From an early age he had known
quite a bit of pain & strife,
In writing, art, & music
He found a refuge
from the deluge
of chaos in his life

Painting Pictures (In The Mind’s Eye)
As many know I’m an artist of various kinds
Art influences so much of my life & my writing
It’s no different, often times, with it,
I simply try to tell stories
that will paint pictures
& leave an impression
on the “canvas”
in the mind’s eye
