Artist Individual Flowers Into Cultural Epics Poem by Terence George Craddock

you were one of my few supporters
in writing as opposed to many who believed
my writing poetry was irresponsible,
NZ is a sport crazy not an artistic nation,
perhaps eventually the country will
embrace expanded artist artistic horizons,
with a little passion like love expended on sports
intense love for sports is parent peers taught;

submission devotion worship of artistic passions
develops in mature seasoned cultural countries
colonial poverty shoots first embrace rough games;
testing break in land effort toil survival muscles
leisure luxuary is art mind no time passion pursuits;
process individual artists time hatch fly on strong wings
migrations climax in muscle mental cultural stages;
