(Not Exactly) A Poem
"If some people like your painting, fine.
If some don't, well, there's the door.
Take your work seriously
But don't take yourself seriously
Paint for yourself
Enjoy yourself"
I was watching a show on PBS today
"The Beauty of Oil Painting" with Gary & Kathwren Jenkins
Gary said this and I marveled at how much this echoed the attitude we should cultivate when writing poetry.
I think we could also consider writing poetry as a painting of sorts
