An American Artist Poem by Theresa Ann Moore
An American Artist
Norman Rockwell is an artist of distinction
He had a flair for capturing common emotion
Feelings of when he was living and observing
American moments he was masterfully preserving
As a brilliant illustrator of magazine covers
The values of everyday life were in his endeavors
‘Boy’s Life, ' 'The Saturday Evening Post' and 'Look'
Carefully planned canvases of snapshots he took
Productively portraying the good old days…
Colorful details depicting occupation and play
Later in his life Norman was tied and bound
Influenced by war and the intolerance he found
With brush in hand he examined human cruelty
Placing emphasis on values of freedom and equality
Each stroke conveyed consciousness and awareness
Marking portions of time with optimism and fairness

Theresa, there will never be another with the sight of Norman Rockwell. He was one of a kind, and there has never been anyone with his sensibilities, since. Thank you for sharing, because I have seen every one of these pictures on the Saturday Evening Post, in dentist and doctors offices, in hospital corridors, and even in business offices. There are many that are funny, like the one with the boy standing on the chair with his backside showing, and the doctor getting a needle ready to give him a shot. Then there is the one biting the little girl's shorts, baring her backside. Norman Rockwell will always be remembered, and sadly missed. Thank you for sharing. Love & hugs, Barbara
