Tho Sau Chu: "The Artist's Life"

The artist's life is quite creative.
With photographs or canvas pictures make
expressions from the heart to break
the mold with other thoughts relative.
If you desire to great live,
your art could many forms take
as threads, oils for goodness sake
and oils, acrylics. pastels are sedative.

For you the artist's life's way
could be words or acting, too.
The sky's the limit for you.
Just write what you would say!
Or show your art on display.
When curtain falls the art's through,
Dwell in joy! Don't be blue!
And write your thoughts without delay!

The artist's life is rarely boring.
To live with him shows flair
We find some object in there,
when we dive in rooms exploring.
We ask his help, are imploring,
but we should have no care
for this request isn't a dare.
His knowledge we have been ignoring.
