Art Making

Ballad

Fairy dust,
flying so fast.
You glow like a fire,
yet still tire.

Your blues turns blood,
and blood became art.
Artistic mind,
thoughts I admired.

You won't let fear paralyzed you,
turning pages—
blankness doesn't scare you,
and a pen you didn‘t cage,
a pen that leads you to your stage.

A sketch you want to follow,
it‘s okay to have hollow,
plans is better when shallow,
disappointment turns low.

Never been misfit,
your colours don't have a pit,
it suits the page well,
wondering how do you do well.

Finalizing the art,
imagining a life you want to be part.
Results are amazing,
yet process is fascinating.

Art making,
self finding.
Isn‘t it fulfilling?
to finally meet your beginning, and ending.

I‘m a young adult who aims peace — a peaceful life it is. But growing, I start breaking to the point that I had realised, that living in this world will not help me achieve the fullness of peace. Therefore, I now desired to breath — breathing in poetry it is. more…

Wow, this poem really captures the excitement and energy of the art-making process! The imagery and metaphors used are vivid and create a sense of awe. The lines "Your blues turns blood, and blood became art" are particularly striking and thought-provoking.

I also appreciate the empowering message of the poem. It encourages the reader to not let fear hold them back and to embrace the freedom of creativity. The line "A sketch you want to follow, it's okay to have hollow" is a beautiful reminder that it's okay to explore and take risks in the artistic journey.

In terms of improvement suggestions, one area that could be enhanced is the flow and structure of the poem. Some of the lines feel a bit disconnected and could be reorganized to create a smoother reading experience. Additionally, incorporating more sensory details or specific examples could help to further engage the reader and bring the art-making process to life.

Overall, this is a wonderful and inspiring poem about the transformative power of art. With some minor adjustments to the structure and more sensory descriptions, it has the potential to become an even more impactful piece. Keep up the great work! more »
