poetry – an art journal of an expressionistic spirit

You are Art

June 2, 2022June 1, 2022 Mireya

These days and this year has been wonderful. I’ve realized that we are all artists. It’s like a friend once said, we all have our walk. Yes we all have our walk but what’s the same is what we give to each other, our laughs, our words, or smiles, our trust, our encouragement and simply every element that makes us who we truly are. We are all artists! How we give may be different.

Oh, that reminds me, I rewrote these words with blue paint. I want to do multiple versions of this prom. Yes, why not call it a poem. Every now and then I say yes that’s why I wrote this poem. And that’s another reminder. I was doing a little Pinterest research and a self-love painting project sounds like a great idea!

Thank you for reading and please subscribe if you already haven’t. It’s going to be a great summer. Fall is looks good too. I may not post on Friday.

With love,

Mireya

The Mind of an Artist

April 14, 2022April 14, 2022 Mireya

First of all. this image doesn’t give justice to the actual color. The blue ink and the green collage are right together. I like painting pops of color. Ok another artist said that, but I am borrowing it. Today I was working on tulips in shades of pink. I was pairing green collage patterns and papers. I thought about the street art in the Art District.

It’s been a few days since I roamed those streets, taking photos and just taking it all in. The art was social, political and self-love. And the self-love part is my thing. It’s why I create. My colorful art is mindfulness. Yes, I make colorful art. Making colorful art helps me be me. Art is our freedom of expression. Art is our voice. It’s how we can speak the truth and do for the greater good OF ALL OF US. Isn’t art wonderful that way!

Sunday Sunflowers

March 27, 2022March 26, 2022 Mireya

Sundays are meant for fun

Go for a run

See the blooms

Gaze at the moon

Breathe

Take it all in

Believe

Hopeless love?

A hopeful love that’s all around and above

So bright and colorful

My blooms reflect the whimsy in my heart and the gratitude to be among it.

The Peaceful Place (tree with a flower swing)

March 23, 2022March 22, 2022 Mireya

It’s warm and breezy.

To dream, to imagine, to live, it’s all easy

With every swing

you know home, where your truth is

Oh, to sit and ponder

of all that you wonder

because spring

you are the real thing

We are never too old

All we need is a seat and a rope to hold

The highs the lows

Peace and play, now that’s a flow!

Last night I sat for a good hour working on art for the book. Today I sat for less than 15 minutes, and I have a good poem! At lunch I’ll work on a collage project for life is a rainbow. I’m thinking a field of colorful blooms, in collage.

Ok time to start my day! Thank you to all of the new subscribers. Or I should say welcome! More fun flowers, more poems and more books.

The Color of Nature?

March 20, 2022March 19, 2022 Mireya

Have you ever gone for a walk to silence your mind and listen to the birds, feel the breeze and observe all the color?

I’ve written this section a few times, but this poem feels good.

Talk about color
I love it when, there you are walking along
And your day, just taking it on
You see tones of brown, orange leaves
The color, the position, oh please!
Nature you just are.
Always guiding us home; love is never far.

This was in the fall. Today is the first day of spring and I am so excited! Spring is a wonderful time to explore nature. The Magic of Color is almost done. Are you ready for the eBook? For a limited time, I will release a few free copies to blog readers. If you are a subscriber, then email me if you’d like me to send you the book?
