A while ago, this little jewel arrived in the inbox of my personal art website (robbondgren.com) *It honestly hurt my feelings at first.

i don't know why?
you?
see, why is it that dilettantes
always seem to just
get BFA and MFA's from
MEDIOCRE schools...???
because their art is so
common and trite?
this has been proven with you.
A dilettante and a talent of
mediocrity.
what goes up can never come
down.......
so, why can't you seem never to
be more than such?
your cream can't rise to the top?
a pity!
*until I saw the time stamp- 3:52am. I guess someone had nothing better to do than write me in the wee hours of the morning. I am now thankful that s/he took the time to write me this note. If the mystery poet is reading this, you'll never know how much your poem has meant to me.
I don't really have a great reason to create a blog- but who the hell does? I spend way too much time on Facebook, so I thought that maybe this would be more productive. Please send me all of your hateful poems, images of your art and design, things you love or dislike, and other ideas and I will do my best to entertain and annoy you whenever I can.
XO Rob

It's all art in the middle of the night
ReplyDeleteAfter waking from obscure dreams
Drops of comments and flashing images
Bits and pieces of imagined passion
Breaks in faith and heartache
Grouted and pasted onto infinitely cavernous canvas
Heartfelt strokes that you can't understand
Yet each so eminently necessary
That it defines explanation the next day
And only the other dreamers will ever understand

Correction - Defies explanation, not defines. Can't proofread when I'm tired.
ReplyDeleteOOH, Heidi. I hate poetry, but thanks for sending. Just kidding. Do you want to "curate" an online show for my blog? Let me know and we will talk details.
