Child’s Play

Child’s Play

Well, here I am at 72

playing with Art,

carefree as a Child

creating Art for Fun,

finding Joy in Process,

spontaneous, having Fun.

Others may Judge it,

the before and after,

the start to the finished,

but Ego and Mind aside,

I don’t see it being

either Good or Bad,

Right or Wrong in execution,

Amateurish or Professional,

something to value

with praise or money,

or something to trash,

not good enough

when I am done.

Well, to be honest,

my Ego and Mind

may yet jump on it,

this Child’s Play Art,

may turn my Joy

into Cold Judgment,

deciding its Good or Bad,

but for now it’s

a Creative Present

from Me to Me

and I’m just having

Fun.

  2. Oh my Shelley!! I so loved this! Super message and insights! Awesome outlook on art, writing and music and the childish glee we are supposed to have from creating it!! I think doing it for yourself is the only way you can keep the joy and right outlook on it. That’s what I try and do. I write it for myself and if it makes someone else happy or smile of thing about it – then for me it’s a success. I judge my the success of my work by whether or not it reaches out and touches the heart of my reader!!
