Your Zentangle visuals are stunning, Mary Lee. I truly love that first poem and the way it captures the unpredictability of our life choices. Art, poetry, and time all made their way into each poem. Ah, what is life but art, poetry, and time? :) <br /><br />Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-62132023483432124642021-06-27T10:06:55.744-04:002021-06-27T10:06:55.744-04:00I really like these.

I'm hoping to try one soon, and I'm a bit intimidated (and I love Zentangling, so you'd think I'd have a head start--haha).laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-55534418785662848252021-06-26T08:52:56.701-04:002021-06-26T08:52:56.701-04:00Looks like you had fun with these.

And I really like poem three on time, it’s reflective voice your art that reminds me of an hour glass, and things turning in on themselves. What a good idea to use old Poetry Magazines for these poems— I have many too, thanks Mary LeeMichelle Koganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575814872372518994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-27690856167974336402021-06-26T08:17:40.683-04:002021-06-26T08:17:40.683-04:00These are so wonderful and inspiring!

Good idea to use the poems in your inbox for creating more art and writing. Lovely designs on your poem. I bet it was rewarding (zen-like) to draw those lines.

I found your 3rd zentangle filled with very interesting lines: "enough time,/knowing there is never enough time," and "far inside them where we lose account of minutes." There is so much truth in this poem.

What a great way to create poems from poems. I love the way you crafted each one, all connected with time taken to be surprised at this 'new' way to write.
