Hi Tiger,
really like the first two verses (and Beautiful as a noun works) but then it seems to lose steam. And trying to get past s3 without thinking of Leonard Cohen is impossible, for me
The Artists' Sentence
I am convicted
of knowing a Beautiful
my pencils cannot sketch,
nor pigments paint
and simple words embarrass themselves
pretending to know;
you could end here, though it's a bit weak. Any way of returning to the idea of conviction/sentence? Not so much interested in the muse, but how the Artist is reacting to this situation.
Best, Knot
