ART-Appreciate, Recognition, & Transform
I saw a contest posted that said write about your place in the world for a chance to win $5,000. It’s how I discovered vocal. I did try writing on medium platform it went nowhere. So, I want to see if vocal works out for me. This poem is called after the parade as the work that would win the contest was about how in parades we are bold, seen, & acknowledged. But, after the parade ends then what happens? I dedicated a brick many years ago at my alumni college memorial that says Art going vertical and horizontally each letter spells a word. I decided to go back to college for Art graduated and then I went for my visual artist degree. I am looking forward to expanding on this platform and growing.
WE ARE RAINBOWS
We smile and wave
Yet know at the end of the day
Everything fades.
Appreciation
Recognition
Transformation
We are the art we live everyday renewed. Dancing in a tight embrace of never ending light and hues.
Once a year we celebrate it’s our holiday. We are proud and the ones who keep our eyes looking up toward the stars.
We shine, we are loud, we are bright, and we are colorful just like fireworks. Everyone always watches fireworks without any hesitation. It’s our culture, it’s our pride, and it’s our dance of life.
We symbolize love, empathy, power, and grace. We embrace our brothers and sisters without disgrace. Our flags wave in the summer breeze as the sun sets we are prepared for a brand new day. The parade might be over but we go on to sparkle and shine each and every single day. Like rainbows that bring joy after the rain. We always are the ones who embrace the change.
