The poem below, Art, Poetry, Writing and Music-Erasure Poem was crafted from a Trenta-Sei poem that I wrote in April. The original poem is also featured at the end of the post. It was written to commemorate the art of poetry existing for 30 years.
Erasure poetry is a fun form. You can either create something totally different from the original or focus in for more detail on the original text. My attempt for the erasure version was to highlight the most descriptive words for a more detailed version. Essentially, eliminating the extra words in the lengthy, Trenta-Sei.

Original Poem-30 Years Turns the Art of Poetry
Artistry comes in many forms
Creating ways to move
Motion in strokes not the norm
Writing that transforms and grooves
Rhymes skillfully arousing the senses
Poetry and prose in many tenses
Creating ways to move
Your mind drifts afar
Riding words feeling the groove
Inspiration shining like a star
Don't stop, ideas abound, keep up the flow
Intricate words flood the brain, page aglow
Motion in strokes not the norm
Acrylic, watercolor or oil
Brushstrokes haphazard forming a storm
Circular and abstract like a coil
Collage of fabric in Pink, Yellow, Green
Blending media, asking what it means
Writing that transforms and grooves
Taking you on a wild ride
Explain the meaning a pen behooves
Awing the reader, mouth open wide
Scanning the page, delight and disbelief
Vivid, exact, succinct and very brief
Rhymes skillfully arousing the senses
Cadence so crisp and clear
No more dis songs, time to mend fences
Harmony is music to my ears
An art form transcending generations
Lyrics infused with deep revelations
Thank you for stopping by! 💖🙏🏽
