For our 2018 Art & Poetry pairing, one pairing was with artist Carol Frieswick and poet Patty Cahill.
Here are the works they created!
Carol Frieswick provided this artwork to Patty:
In response, Patty wrote the following poem:
DELIGHTFUL
Waking up before dawn,
The Beach,
An early morning walk
A beautiful Sunrise
Before my eyes
A sign another delightful beach day
The Ocean calm,
inviting
Rejuvenating,
Refreshing,
Relaxing,
Its nature
…
The second half of this pairing involved Patty giving Carol a poem as a starting point. Patty provided this poem:
A MOTHER’S INSTINCT
Putting on my coat
Leashing my dog
This crisp Autumn morning
Walking along early
The cool air, refreshing
Crunch, crunch crunch,
The fallen leaves
Beneath my feet
Unexpectedly spotting
A bird’s nest
A nearby bush
I gently lift it
Perfectly and carefully built
The nest a symbol of Love:
Paper, tape and twigs entwined
A mother’s instinct:
To shelter her babies
…
In response, Carol created this artwork:
