A Needed Art Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

A good introspection shan

Art is long and time is fleeting. Everything in this world is an art. Nicely composed.

The last stanza elevates the poem by revealing the purpose. Yes, Art can be for money but if it doesn't come from the heart, it is only a wart. If our Vedic lore is still alive, if the Shakesperian literature is still in the circuit, if the Sistine vault scenes still entrall millions, it is only because that these arts have come from the depth of the heart of their creators. A good work. It carries a message. That is important.

Remining me of when I wrote 'Poet' years ago which just won as a finalist in international competition and an Editor's Choice Award hope you get a chance to peruse......

great point you make here with uncanny style....very well done.

beautiful theme.... i agree with the idea expressed...nice work

Very well said Samayan, we all need art as a means of expression. Great poem

a point made...and to be noted by one and all..only art makes life wholesome

agreeing with Carl in totality....and yes I have found that it is really more practical and useful for me to get on my typewriter or keyboard and save the gas going to my therapist

Life is art in itself, the lord painted the world that slowly fades with greedy ways, we need to add back the colour with love
