Poetry: Artistry – 06/11/19

 
 It seems we are all striving to be seen creatively
 for our mastery at whatever our 
 hands, mouths, eyes can fashion, shape, produce.
 To be acknowledged for our skillsets at these,
 our desire to exercise the right to be 
 creative and wonderfully delve.
  
 The foundations have already been laid,
 there is no resistance anymore,
 our work and statures are well respected,
 everything is here available to us,
 our talents can truthfully soar. 
  
  
 Edit not your words which have presently flowed,
 tidy not that corner of your painting whose 
 colours appeared to have self-imploded,
 rephrase not that section of vocals which 
 ascended and trembled so delicately that
 your heart felt it too had risen.
  
 Creatively speaking we are in a new age,
 these are times where our artistry is embraced,
 accepted,
 looked upon with praise and as distinguished,
 not shunned or having our practices 
 abhorred or dismissed.
  
 Instead others look upon the creators with 
 wonder at our skills, 
 amazing imaginations,
 imperfect yet perfect construction of our talents,
 the ability to reproduce while avoiding direct replication — 
 this is an age that we cannot dismiss.
  
 For, our artistry and ingenuity are those that make our work 
 wondrous, amazing creations to be venerated and 
 allow others to be
 visually impressed or otherwise 
 placated and pleased. 

 We can impress with our skills with the greatest of 
 excellence and ease.
