Art and meaning....

This week's Haiku Heights challenge is the word 'meaning'


To me  Frida Kahlo's kitchen table symbolizes how much we center our lives around art

......and whether we know it or not, without it we might die..perhaps that is a stretch, but I don't think so when we think of the myriad forms of art we partake of everyday. We indulge ourselves with it.  No need for me to mention the ubiquitous sources of our pleasures as well as our consternation.  This started as one haiku and grew

a bit in length by the time I was satisfied...I think Diego would agree ;-).

Art means nourishment

 Steaming spirits deep inside
leap onto canvas


Its breath sustains us
wrought of sweet tribulation
drawn from sanguine bone
  
 Magnificent works

Sculpted, writ, measured, designed 
 fired into substance

Steeped bare essentials
Suffer the earth to drink God's
 fragrant cup of tea
