As artists (yes, my friend, poets are artists), as creative beings, we have a reputation for being a wayward bunch. We see the world in so many unique and unusual ways. The "normal" people often think we are odd, quirky, troubled, even bizarre. But I'm here to tell you, we make the world a better, a more beautiful place.
For today's challenge, I'm going to share with you a few images from artists who inspire me. Each one is linked to either a video or a website with a bit about the artwork. Feel free to use one of my inspirations to feed your poetic muse today or share one of your own.
