My Work Is Made Up of
Straight Lines and You Know How Hard It Is To Draw A Straight Line
At the beginning of each
day I am self-conscious of each brush stroke
The brush wobbles a straight line
is impossible I continue
I begin to relax confidence sneaks in the straight line comes easy
I am no longer aware of
myself it is as if “I” have
left the room no longer in the way
I have found my groove when I paint I construct the painting
Build it from the ground
up layer upon layer the straight lines
join to create shapes sometimes the shapes join other
shapes make new shapes
when I finish it all looks like it is carefully planned my
self-consciousness doesn’t show

LOVE this description of your creative process in painting! Most especially love the ending...! :) So glad you participated. I'm thinking I need to go back to your site and see if there's any paintings of yours! I'd forgotten your a painter with brushes as well as with words :) Glad you participated in the prompt!
Oh my goodness! I just looked at your site with your paintings....photos of you in the studio. Your work is amazing! And it also sheds light on the "form" of your poetry. Both -- beautiful. You are so very talented!!!
Everything connects. I didn't know you were a painter. It doesn't seem fair, having two talents :)
From my first visit to your site eons ago, I picked up on your Artist vibe, It permeates all your creativity, including poetry. I guess these days, since I no longer appear on stage, my photography is my latest vibe. I am starting to get used to the form much of your poetics take--and it propels me along, adding motion to the words, and implications to the spaces between
I like the title. It seems that the self-conscious straight line is what is especially hard to do.
Annell, I simply LOVE this. Your title is FANTASTIC. I think this may be a favorite of yours, for me. Just wonderful.
That's good and feels amazing when you are confident about yourself and your project.
I was actually just talking to another friend about this yesterday. How at times it seems like in art you go beyond yourself, and it is not even you making the music, writing the poem, painting...its almost as if another takes over. And somedays it is hard to find that again. But it is almost like a meditation, to relearn how to breathe
I can actually fell the focus with which you draw each line... the way you create it line by line... sometimes writing poetry can be just the same....
I haven't been able to reply because my computer is misbehaving. I'm not sure if the responses will go or not.
I really like your post good blog on site,Thanks for your sharing.
