Gentry Warren ART
As someone who has always felt the peaks and valleys of life deeply, finding a way to create from those feelings has been and continues to be transformational. My artwork is full of color, emotion, and most importantly, pieces of myself and my lived experiences. As with life, my process and style are ever changing. Recently discovering a knack for using words to create images and personality, I have begun incorporating storytelling and poetry into my artistic work. Through my words and work, I hope to evoke understanding and compassion, while offering new perspectives and vantage points.

The Bench in the Sky
A little Jewish girl who grew up in Brooklyn,
No one would imagine the future of this young woman.
The only living daughter of a bookkeeper and a merchant;
One day to become the nation's most loved public servant.
Always climbing higher, Cornell would give her honors,
While Harvard barely gave her the chance of becoming a scholar.
Finally with Columbia she'd become an official lawyer;
Beware, you've yet to see what's held within the warrior!
She taught herself Swedish to fully understand,
how law could be applied to make us the best land.
She'd argue against the use of sex discrimination,
Rocking the norms of our country to it's foundation.
She would defend both sides, the women and the men
To show that no one could escape the discrimination lynchpin.
She'd fight and she'd fight for equal protection,
She knew that the laws required deeper inspection
Many roles she would fill-professor, mother, and yes of course judge.
Possibly never Justice, if not for dear Marty giving a nudge.
Only one came before her, her dream of nine someday
27 years on the bench, working every day to pave the way.
As part of this court, made up of nine,
Her level of icon soon she would find.
The Greatest Dissenter of modern day,
Regardless who joined her, her opinion didn't sway.
Small in stature, Notorious in fame;
Giving a voice to the voiceless, can light quite a flame!
The difference between being a bookkeeper and a judge?
Only one generation, not really that much.
Her legacy will live on longer than I,
As she continues to rule, from the bench in the sky.
She left this Earth on a holiest of day,
It's Ruth Bader Ginsburg, heavens make way!
I Took My Sadness to the Watermelon Patch
The chill of night,
Hollow pound, grief knocking.
Hands dive into cool dirt,
Sewing seeds, a soul raining down.
Tears of sorrow, now the soul of the seed.
The sprout, roots plunging deep, vines inching toward the sun.
Soaked and heavy, a bloom,
Sadness brought life, life brought sadness.
Emerald trophy, growing and growing,
Ruby flesh, hollow pound.
The cycle ends,
The cycle begins.
The Life of A Brush
The life of a brush,
Is really quite gruff.
With the loads of paint they bear,
They deserve shown more care.
Rather into the water they go,
They've become chipped, balding, and bowed.
Each one an author with a tale their own,
The colors they've laid, and the stories they've sewn.
An extension of the artist ourselves,
They deserve more than just living on shelves,
For they are responsible for the smile of Mona Lisa,
And many a portrait afront the Tour of Pisa.
Dear brushes please forgive me,
As I collect my artist's fee.
Someday you'll finally be out of misery,
replaced with brushes new and shiny
