WELCOME TO ARIZONA POET BOB ATKINSON'S BLOG

WELCOME TO ARIZONA POET BOB ATKINSON'S BLOG of Arizona Poetry. Arizona Poetry reflects the multi-cultural heritage of the Southwestern section of North America. Arizona Poetry is reflective of how we became who we are, and how we look at where we are going. Arizona Poetry is us, not you and them.

WILL BE POSTING, FROM TIME TO TIME, MORE STORIES FROM MY BOOK "ARIZONA CULTURAL INFLUENCES - ACI".... THESE ARE TRUE HISTORICAL STORIES WHICH MAY BE RESEARCHED AT THE LIBRARY OR ON LINE, ALTHOUGH I DO NOT CLAIM THEM TO BE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, AND HENCE
DO NOT ATTEMPT PERFECT HISTORICAL ACCURACY.
THE ATTEMPT IS TO GET PEOPLE THINKING HOW ALL SIDES FELT ABOUT THE EVENTS, SO AS TO HELP US ALL LEARN MODERATION IN OUR FUTURE ACTIONS.

IN ADDITION, I MAY POST SOME OTHER, NOT SO SERIOUS POEMS I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT LIFE AND LIFE EXPERIENCES.

Bohemian Gathering Place by Bob Atkinson




Bohemian 
Gathering Place

(c)2012 Bob Atkinson

find a place where you can go
to see those bodies of like mind
those who, as you, live in thought
which creates the art so fine

artistic words and sculptures
brush stroked canvas portraits
those things we all love to hate
created from nothingness
by strong internal mind forces

not so easy to arrive
at the station they all go
you must be famous or getting there
or you'll get that old cold shoulder

sensing feelings in the room
those bohemians who agitate
with brush and pen and clay to form
art with fine skilled graces

then there are those who have
adopted the written word
as their choice for display of
artistic or evil thoughts absurd

or,
for political agitation
if that is what they seek
trying to get across those precepts
they hold and loudly speak

so, their ways fit into
attitudes of this group of saints
becomes a cause given to much thought
which can drive artistic creation

create that which was before
but a blank page or canvas
or ball of clay laid on the floor
now formed to judges satisfaction
