Harlem :: A Zentangle

Published:
1.5K Views

Description

Zentangle rendition of Langston Hughes' "Harlem".

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Does it fester like a sore and then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Does it crust and sugar over
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

Or, does it explode?

Dear theliteratepenguin,

I am writing you on behalf of the My Hero Project.

www.myhero.com

The MY HERO Project is a not-for-profit, project-based, learning resource on the internet that celebrates the best of humanity. Every school year we work with over 40,000 classrooms in celebrating heroes.

May I have your permission to feature your “Harlem :: A Zentangle” in our digital gallery www.myhero.com/gallery for National Poetry Month? With a clean jpeg and a short artist’s statement about heroism, I could create a MY HERO Gallery Page that not only celebrates the subject but gives you, the artist, exposure to the 3-4M hits per month that we currently enjoy by linking directly to your website.

Our mission is to engage young minds in the process of celebrating heroism and in so doing, to promote role models, non-violence, peace, human rights and tolerance; values personified in this inspirational poet and the art you’ve dedicated to him.

Here are some Gallery Pages made from the work of other professional artists who are part of The MY HERO Gallery:

And there are many more.

Please write me at david@myheroproject.org and let me know if this appeals to you.

Thank you for your consideration,
