if edward hopper found
that painting exists
due to the impossibility
of words saying all
I am glad he chose to
express himself with his
paintings.
for the poet in me
word-expressions will be
a permanent challenge
that may bring out shades
of feelings
I will depict in drawing/
painting/ or mixed-media
art.
well now/ the poet has
worked from his early teens
on his poetry
with recognition from his
friends
stimulated by his young
sensuous muse
he felt indeed that words
failed him to express his
feelings and he drew/
painted/ searching for
his personal style
while mom lauded his
artistic efforts.
from Johannesburg to
athens his muse anna
furthered his literary
endeavours.
between two poles of
expression now
he wanders about
perhaps it’s all poetry.
