Painting Poem by Clyde King

Painting

Rating: 4.8


Painting is visual poetry.
The good artists understand
The elements and principles
That make a good composition
A work of art. A good poet
Likewise.

Painting, like poetry,
Is a compression of expression
On a two dimensional plane.
Both start out as stories, or a single
Brushstroke, or a single word,
And grow from there.

They may be so surreal, so
Strange and abstract
That it's unknowable.
But that's ok. That's why
It's called ART.
