Painting, sewing, drawing
Sketching, dancing, sculpting.
Art, art, art.
Common, and loved,
Gifts from above.
Art has many, forms
Learn to paint, draw, or sew,
Just to name a few.
Schools and galleries are plenty
If you have the talent, and the money
But is that all?
The physical, visible, sprawl
I think not,
I know it is not
Another art form, unknown
Another art form, specially shown
Writing.
So many styles, so many changes
Beauty and grace
Enchanting words and tones
Create color and depth
Entertains the mind
And fills the soul
And yet, it is not art
It is writing
Scribbles and scrawls,
Nothing good, nothing gained
Like reading, they are often one and the same
Nothing gained
Yet writing is a release
Reading is a haven
And both are heaven
Poetry is music
Lyrics are a song
Song becomes dance
Dance is Art
It is all intertwined
All the same mind
Yet writing is criticized
Never to be changed
Pushed to the back
Just a mind snack
So why is art,
like graffiti, and erotic dance
Celebrated and encouraged,
When writings are lost and changed
Truths turned to lies
I do not understand,
why writing and reading,
are buried in the sands
Time flows on, like words and rhymes
Taking with it the works of our time
Writing.
Peoples hopes and dreams
Peoples love and art
Their haven, and joy
They wish to share
To open the world
And unite the minds
Many are lost...
To the sands of time
This Art,
This Joy
This Hope
This Missing Link
This Unknown Magic
It's simply named
Easily found
All of its' bound
In the pages
Lost to the ages
Writing
The lost,
The loved,
The Unknown Art

Description:
**"Unknown Art" is the latest entry and was the most unfocused of my poems to date. It revolves around Writing, reading, and books in general. Not specifically about how createive writing is not heavily recognized in schools and educational systems**
But what you get from it is yours to decide. - Date: 01/10/2009
