Tuesday Poem

Practicing Art

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They’re
a very human way of making life more bearable.
Practicing an art, no matter how well or not, is a
way to make your soul grow,
for heaven’s sake,

Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories.
Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy one.
Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an
enormous reward. You will have
created something.”

Kurt Vonnegut
from Poetic Outlaws
