As many of you know, my forte is in the field of visual arts, not performance or written words. Despite that, I have had a growing interest in those other fields, and was honored when one of my poems, "Lucky Boy" was included in a collection of poems by global poets MUCH better than me titled Spirit of Humanity - poetic visions of a better world, published by Artists for a Better World International. Clicking on the book cover to the right will take you to the Cafépress page where you can order a copy if you like:Okay, So.... here's the poem (short & sweet!)
Lucky Boy
This is my favorite lifetime
of all that came before
Of all the times I've donned this flesh,
I have not loved it more.
No, I am not handsome,
Nor tall or debonaire,
Nor rich beyond my wildest dreams
with thick and rugged hair!
No, I was given other gifts
- I'm such a lucky boy -
For I can wield an artist's tools
and bring to others joy.
