Questions of the Day
From front door
Across the portal
To studio
I leave no tracks
Morning begins
At the edge
Of a new day
Files heaped upon my desk
A mess
Waiting to become
Uncluttered
Arranged
Organized
Each day
A complex dance
Choreographed by me
The morning still
Except for the little fly catcher
Screaming for
his…or her
partner
(Gender unknown
To me)
Each day
I wander
The studio
My enchanted forest
Like a class-room
Of my own design
Lessons drawn from life
Black tar to
pale gaseous colors
Greyed
Gradual change
Gives direction
Each completed work
Simply answers
The questions of
The day
Prompt: tracks, edge, files, lie, mess, complex, gas, forest, still, pale, answers, class

I can feel the serenity and satisfaction of being in your studio in these lines………

they are what comes of the day…
its all art…even fly catching…smiles…
Your work about your artistic process ranks high among my favorites.So glad you keep whirling with us!!
Answers to the questions of the day sounds like a result to me…!
I’d love to have a studio waiting for me out my front door! Enjoy your enchanted forest!
What a joy!
I long to see your studio, to sit there with you and just soak up all those day by day answers. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself, my friend,

Really like that.
Lovely and true. Thank you. “Each completed work simply answers the questions of the day.” Mmmmm…
Love your last stanza, Annell. You describe the artist’s experience so well.

The day
Love that! However sometimes answers only draw up more question.
That is right. The questions at the end of the day, become the questions at the beginning of the day. thanks for your comments. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529
