Fiadh
​"Fiadh" - acrylic on cradled wood panel, 18" x 24" x 1.5"  Ready to hang..  Available June 6 - 7 at Artistic Souls Gallery.

A wildling has taken over the studio.  She has even usurped my little whimsical poems:

Fiadh is a wildling.
She runs, she swims, she climbs.
Her eyebrows raise at words like this - 
she despises rhymes.

“Keep it wild,” she says,
“let it be unruly.  
Words that run amok
resonate with more folks, truly.”

​So here we go - I’ll try it!
Words racing off the spit!
They’re running toward an ending
which is this: TURNIP GREENS!

(what happens when wildlings take over: nothing rhymes)


Fiadh (fee-a) might have all of the studio creatures running amok before long. There's a half-finished vulture lurking on the easel who will surely conspire with her to cause havoc and mayhem.  I never did mind a little mayhem - it's the lack of rhyming that gets my goat.

About the event:  "Treat Yourself" June 6 - 7 at Artistic Souls Gallery on Facebook.  A handful of artists pushing boundaries in their art during a two day melee event and online art auction.  To participate, join the Facebook group and view the art previews over the next two weeks.  Event goes live at 11 am est on June 6.

I love the painting and her views on poetry. An unruly studio can be a great thing!

I am grabbing me a honkin' fat fistful of TURNIP GREENS and running like a wildling—wholeheartedly and unabashedly and with squeals and yelps—into this fine unfettered morning!

Sounds like Fiadh is a bit of a rebel. I enjoyed the poetry!

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.

(by poet Mary W. Cox)
