Artful words by Janeen Koconis

i am i.  i try to be just me.

i am part of some totality.

i am 1st person singular.

i rhyme with sky, why,

hi and multi-ply.

i am a living being.

i was born.

i learned to walk and talk

& to ride a two-wheeler.

i went to school.

i learned stuff.  i made 

friends.  once i made a tent.

i hung out. i wanted to be

in a band.  i sang to the radio.

i danced in the mirror.

i read hemingway.

i made love.  i lost love.

i wrote poetry once.

i played a blue guitar.

i opened my eyes.  i looked

inside.  i saw.  i see.  i give.

i take.  i feel.  i find meaning.

(hence another poem)

i vote.  i hope.  i work.

i dream.  (i like black & white 

movies).  i laugh.  i listen.

i remember.  i forget.  i try

to forgive.  i try to stand tall.

i wonder.  i say.  i believe.

i am part of a larger

truth.

i know i am part of the world.

i am i.  i am you.

i am we.

(i am me)

She brings together art and words and makes masterpieces.  I have four prints.  Three in Skagway and one here in Seattle.  Love her work!

Here is a link to a website that has a video of making a KOCO gallery in Paris, France.  I looked all over but couldn't find a website just specifically for her.
