The Permanence of Art--By--Suzanne Delaney--United States

The Permanence of Art

In the third act
a recital of a dream
Beauty transcribes it, punctuating it,
entering when the poet is out
for a moment
The song, a promise from a meadow
begins with bird notes.. a real masterpiece
viewed as poetry begins
and makes a parody of song

Authorship of the song is sung
as an impulse, love
and youthful ardor,

the poet discourses on the
permanence of art.

Suzanne Delaney is a retired Registered Nurse. A resident of Hawaii, USA she was born in Tasmania. She now has time to pursue her passion for writing poetry, creating collages and for traveling.

  3. Dear Suzanne,
    I love the way your poem began in the "third act," when the pieces of a play (or a poem) come together with a resolute message. Inspiration can come from many places, but it is the poet, the artist, who bring it to life. Beautifully written!
    Love,
    Carolyn

      Thank you for your kind comment and for understanding
      my poem.
      Without appreciative readers the purpose of our writing is reduced.
      I appreciate you.
