I became an artist this year
a poet, a writer, a zentangle doodler.
Though I’ve written for years
and doodled as well
This year I finally did it.
I committed to practice each day.
365 days in a row (and still going)
wordsmithing poems and honing my craft
with doodles slipped in just for fun
I transformed into an artist this year.
Not through fame or good fortune
or book signing gigs.
But by just showing up and living the magic
of daily performing my art,
I became an artist this year.

I like the way you brought “magic” into your poem. Liked the poem, as well.

Very nice way of blending magic and persistence, LuAnne! I loved that suggestion that we are (or we turn into) what we do…

Thanks, Lourdes. I hadn’t thought of it quite that way but it’s like a turn of the phrase “You are what you eat.” – “You are what you practice.” Thanks for reading..

It does feel good. I don’t feel like my day starts right until I journal – and of course have my coffee! Thanks for visiting, fellow artist.
