The Art of Works, by Portly Bard

The Art of Works

to John Di Leonardo Regarding September

September here hath thirty days,
each hours to regret or praise,
as labour left to be reviewed
perhaps to be as art construed...

...the poetry for eyes we've made
to seek  --  within  --  the sense conveyed
of who we were and what we knew
becoming what we chose to do...

...perhaps on canvas as design
for others left as lore to mine...
...or image formed some other way
as thought forever to portray

our love so trying to transcend
the time as gift we had to spend.

Portly Bard

Portly Bard: Old man.  Ekphrastic fan.

Prefers to craft with sole intent
of verse becoming complement...
...and by such homage being lent...
ideally also compliment.
