So often crude reception,
of arts delivered gifts,
when cast like pearls
to heathen swine;
their quality to miss.
In word or stroke
of painted brush, in
craft, or cake or plant,
so many can't identify,
where quality does mark.
The writer, painter,
gardener, chef, the
potter, weaver too,
will work eternal magic;
without a wise review.
Forget the crass receiving,
demand no note or grace,
and know that beauty
sings - endures;
in absence of all taste.

Poetry that sounds very true to life with a soft humorous undertone. The amateur chef can relate!
ReplyDeleteCreativity is, often, a lonely pursuit. You have touched upon a universal characteristic of everyone who makes something out of nothing; sometimes for the benefit of others and, sometimes, purely for the essential act of creation. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the last lines - beauty endures in the absence of taste.
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile. So true. So many can't identify... but beauty endures.. that's great!
ReplyDeleteA gift from the heart and soul is worth a million store-bought ones!
ReplyDeleteThis in itself is a work of art! (:
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful things go unappreciated because they're not considered "good enough". If only things were different, maybe then there wouldn't be so much crudeness.

Thank goodness artists--at least some artists--persevere in the face of indifference or disdain, or just imagine the bleak and artless world we'd live in. Thanks for this graceful, elegant poem.
ReplyDeleteReally nice rhythm to this! I read it twice.
ReplyDeleteClever poem. I like the slightly cynical humor. And I think this is so true in many cases. Great piece.
