Creative Endeavors
By Sharon Brunner
Waves of brightly colored pages
Sprinkled with pastels and earth tones
Moments of solace and remembrance
Times laced with diverged memories
Elapsed treasures in crowded drawers
Framed given hidden meaning
Mixed languages, concealed messages
Mystifying the viewer
Telling tales of forgotten lore
From the ordinary to the unexpected
Uncommon, astonishing, exceptional
Or closer to the truth than imagined
Endearing children’s stories
Begotten pictorials of amazing animals
Delightful tales of enchanting predicaments
Unadorned solutions provide guidance
Meaningful words splashed on pages
Advocates, activists, truth seekers
Speaking of unmet needs
Healing through thorough understanding
A war is staged between two brothers
Seeking control of land
As they battle for domination
In a heated exchange of Risk
Friends gather providing support
Sharing the sweets of life
Touched by uncomplicated foundations
Celebrating everyone’s bequests
Note: Creative Endeavors: Support for Writers and Artists is a eclectic group of individuals who enjoy sharing their creative actitivites in a fun and supportive way. I started this group in 2009. The group was originally referred to the Cabin Fever Group which dealt only with writing. We had a new member show up and demonstrate her blacksmithing ability, she altered railroad spikes into very unique shapes. Two of the members passed around their art journals for the group to review. And our challenge was to write a very bad country song at the last meeting. I took third place. I decided to write a poem about some of the activities that occur at the meetings. This poem was written a few years ago and things at the meetings are getting even more interesting. If you live in Sault Ste. Marie, MI come and visit us at the Bayliss Library. You won't be sorry you did.
Good poem Sharon. It describes our meetings well. I hope everyone will come who has a leaning toward art. We have a great time. We laughed and laughed.
