dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Dabbling In Poetry

“Creativity takes courage.” Henri Matisse
Be It Pen, Key or Brush Not everything must be real for its own sake, licence is better in every art in the telling of a story, more colour, or less, provokes a reaction, a narrative of broad strokes and dabs be it pen, key or brush, touches me deeply. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Nice – art for art’s sake.
