Fresh To Death With A Poem Commission

By Timothy Allen


There are certain things that make life a little bit sweeter. Music, art, literature. All of them are called the humanities because they are the foundation of what it means to be human. True, they are not necessary for living. But they do make living a little bit better. But not everyone has the skill for it. Everyone has to capacity to enjoy it, but not necessarily the capacity to create it. So they can them try a poem commission.

Poems are words. But they are also so much more than mere words at the same time. They are sentences, but simple sentences do not make prose. They rhyme, but rhyming is not the end all be all of poetry.

A commission is a fee. That is actually the root of it. A person pays an artist a certain amount, and then the artist then creates a piece of art. Now, the kind of art created can vary on the specifications of the customer. Many of the great artistic matters of the Renaissance worked under such conditions. Many of these works are still preserved today, to be enjoyed by all kinds of people.

There is a reason that people commission poems or other types of art. Mainly because they want to create a memorial to the self, to commemorate themselves in some way, shape, or form. But also because they just want to experience some beauty that is tailor made to them.

Poems have one purpose. That is to exist. But their existence is to be heard or read. They meant to move hearts and move minds as well.

Poets should not be hard to come by. They should be easily found in many an open mic night. They can also be found in campuses. The easiest place to find someone is and, until something better comes along, always will be the internet. They will often post their work online where they can be experienced.

There is such a thing as the starving artist. But no one wants to be that. When someone creates something, some form of work, they want to be paid for it. Now, a commission is explicitly about payment. A client hires someone to create something in exchange for a monetary fee. This fee can vary based on a number of factors. Chief among them will be the level of experience.

But of course, the poet should be skilled. Any person with basic linguistic skills can put words together to form a sentence. They can then put those sentences together to form a verse. But that does not mean that the verse produced will be good. It just means that it will be there. Then again, artistic talent is subjective, so maybe samples should be examined before hiring anyone.

The world is something that can be made beautiful. But that beauty comes at a cost. Some people can create, can make things pretty. But the people who cannot can hire those from the first group. It can cost a little bit of money, it can take a little bit of time, but it can be done, and it can be done well.
