Art, Poem, etc. thread

[rach2crazy]

I have no idea if this thread was made already. If it was, I couldn't find it.
Anyways, here is a thread where you can express your work. It could be certain drawings, paintings, poems, stories from a book you made, ahh photos you taken and whatever else I'm forgeting. I love to see some of your work.

Here is a picture I drew of John Lennon. I forgot to shade his face. I posted this pic on a another website I have an account on also.

I probably showed you girls this picture of Paul McCartney already, but I'm in love with my drawing.

OMG! rach! ...i wish i could draw even a little bit...
my mom is good at it and my youngest daughter is too...
so the drawing gene skipped me .
sheesh...both drawings are just amazing! you are sooo talented!

[lizzbeth]

The Lennon and McCartney drawings are beautiful.
I draw too but the only faces I can do are the fuzzy kind
(cats, dogs, rabbits etc).
You have quite a talent.
Sending you some karma!!

Those are amazing, Rach! Portraits are SO difficult. I used to draw a lot - lost interest, though. I drew mostly horses, so here's one I dug up...

It's the racehorse Seabiscuit (done LONG before the movie came out - it was from a book I read as a kid)

I just uploaded my Photography pictures off my digital camera.

Whoa! That's wonderful, Lori!!
You got Talent also!

Jenna, the first pic is my favorite. Old houses look so sad, and almost like they have a story to tell.
Lori, I love horses, and I love the pic that you drew. Very good.
Rach, wow. You got their eyes down so wonderfully. The only thing I can draw good is the St. Louis Cardinals logo. The bat/bird and letters. I'm more of a writer!

Hey Rach there are four or five different threads that deal with drawings, photography and poetry. I think you started one for drawings, and one for photography because I have seen your drawings of John and Paul. Both are fantastic, but I already told ya that.

I like that it's all now under one thread instead of the four or five on the site. I posted my poems in the poetry thread, so should I repost them here?

Lori, your drawing of Seabiscuit is fabulous. ;D You're very talented.

Jenna, your pictures are great. ;D I like the beach picture.

rach, lori and jenn....y'all got talent!!!

[rach2crazy]

Lori- That horse drawing is amazing. It's so cute! ^.^
Jenna- Nice pics. Is the beach picture LBI, (Long Beach Island)? Aw your dog is cute.
mellie- If you want to, you can post your poem's on this thread. Either way I want to read them lol

Thanks! No, it's not Long Beach, it's at Avalon in NJ..you were close tho!

My dogs name is Jasmine and I processed my film and today we got to see our negatives and Jasmine came out blackish gray cuz shes white. I thought that was funny!

Thanks Number1!

[tabatha]

Jenna, your dog's name is Jasmine? That's cute. That's my cat's name. As soon as I get film and take pics of her I'll show you.

Hey Tabs, you should repost your poem-"Proud Warrior Man".

Rach, I copied and pasted what I wrote in the poetry thread, so you can read them. FYI, they are written in Spanish, but I translated them into English so everyone that read them could understand them.

Okay here's a poem that I wrote while listening to one of my friends go on and on about her heart being broken, and she didn't want to feel sad anymore. It's in Spanish, but I provided the translation.

La Tormenta

Relámpagos iluminan el cielo
y gotas grandes empapan la piel.
Se cierran las ventanas del alma y
se escucha un gran silencio.
La tormenta está pasando y
mañana brillara el sol.
Finalmente llega la calma
a este pobre corazón.

The Storm

Lightning iluminates the sky,
and giant drops wet the skin.
The windows of the soul are closing,
and a great silence is heard.
The storm is passing,
and tomorrow the sun will shine.
Calmness finally comes
to this poor heart.

Here is another one that I wrote on the same day because my friend was going on and on about this. I stayed on the phone with her for about two hours, so I wrote poems while I listened to her complaints. Again, I provided the translation.

Corazón Quebrado

Este corazón quebrado
llora por tu amor.
Este corazón quebrado
sufre por tanto dolor.
Este corazón quebrado
tiene ya que sanar.
Este corazón quebrado
un día volverá a amar

Broken Heart

This broken heart
cries for your love.
This broken heart
suffers from so much pain.
This broken heart
needs to heal now.
This broken heart
will one day love again.


These two were published in Al Principio:poesía y prosa in 1999 by Texas State University. One of them is a one sentence poem that is connected to the title.

La Fe
Eres mi fe,
mi corazón,
Diste vida a
mi ser.
Me diste amor y
cordura.
Eres mi dios.

Faith
You are my faith,
my heart,
You gave life to
my soul.
You gave me love and
wisdom.
You are my God.

El abuelo
Humilde moreno de pocas palabras.

The grandfather
Humble, dark haired/skinned one of few words.

**************Proud Warrior Man*******************
Hey proud warrior man with your long hair and love for everything fair
Sing them a song, sing it low, sing it high, sing it for all to hear
Bang on a drum, play a flute, share your beauty, show them hope
Take the ones who are no longer proud, make them laugh out loud
Walk through the un passed roads, make them new trails to follow
Start a dance, keep it slow, then pick it up, call for what they wish for
Take their hands, make them glow, it's time to show them
Make a warrior's face, make a warrior's cry, make them all understand
Take the meekest, show her light, teach her brand new flight
Call the wild, call the mild, call the child, they all belong
Speak in native tongue, speak of old, speak of new, speak of all
Tell them your stories, long since passed down, for them to earn
This is for them alone, til their children come, for life to become
Take a brush, paint it hush, bring a new life to birth, wake the spirit
Life up your arms, chant it for the highest Spirit, ask for gifts for these
Let the rain fall down, let it heal all the wounded, let it own you
Wash away the days past, let it wait for the morrow, cleanse it now
Make a face, make them wow, show them how to cleanse themselves
Bow down, raise up, pull your hair back, let it flow behind
Hey Proud Warrior Man, let them speak to you, let them hear you
Let them come back, let them go their own way, let them never forget
You, proud warrior man, with a wife at home, baby on the way
Never forget your place, nor your peace, for you have promise
Go home now to the new proud warrior girl to steal your heart
Let it start a new, let it grow old, let it be, for you, for me, for everyone
Goodbye Proud Warrior Man, I am always with you, never forget
I am the spirit in you, I am proud of you
~me~
