Diary Of A Visual Poet

Now that my hiatus is over; I finally mailed the Torch of Change and a Bust on Stand visual poems to President Barack Obama.  After all, I think it’s only fair that President Obama has an opportunity to view his unique bust on a stand and torch before they are displayed in my visual poetry exhibitions throughout America. 

Well, David Letterman did not call, but I have been asked to display an exhibition of my visual poems.  The National Poetry Month debut of Reality, Per Se; An Exhibition of Visual Poetry will jump start an exciting chain of events, all centered on my collection of visual poetry.  It appears as though visual poetry may actually help to soothe Americans during the economic crisis. 

Dear Diary, President-elect Barack Obama’s inaugural poem wasn’t on my mind.  Because, since Election Day 2008, I have focused on creating Presidential Poetic Portraits and visual poetry to honor President George W. Bush and Barack Obama.  Much to my surprise, I wrote and sculpted a visual poem, an inaugural poem; The Torch Bearer of Change. Now, I think I’ll retire my writing hand until spring; unless David Letterman requests me to showcase my visual poems on the Late Show.  David Letterman, you will decide whether or not, my creativity shines during the next four months.       

Day 31 - Dear Diary:  No, I wasn’t asked to deliver President-Elect Barack Obama’s Inauguration Poem.  And, nor did I expect to be asked, for I’m an unknown poet and I’m sure President-Elect Barack Obama has tapped someone who is popular, politically connected and can afford to attend.  If I had delivered the 2009 Inauguration Poem, it would’ve been realizing an impossible dream.  Regardless, my Presidential Poetic Portrait and Visual Poetry will always be more than appropriate to pay tribute to all United States Presidents; including President George W. Bush and President-Elect Barack Obama.
