Movements

Between Snow shoveling assignments (doncha just love that fluffy white stuff?)

Music moves me.
I know it's supposed to.
Some irritates me
I know it's supposed to.
Not being able to read it
Or write it
Has not stopped me from judging it
I know I'm supposed to
My paintings have been displayed
To move people
Some probably irritate people
They are not supposed to
I enjoy listening to blues
Cannot write them
Without being sad
Cannot be sad listening to them
Some classic (what's the plural of opus?)
Make tears form as I listen
Others keep me content
Once in a while skat slips in
To give me a bonus
Music moves me.
I guess it's supposed to.

There's a great musicality to this poem, excuse the pun, you show a great talent in using sound. The flow is wonderful and I think this mainly because its not impeded by punctuation. I don't think it matters if you can:

Not being able to read it

Music is spiritual. But more than that, I have a friend who can't read music and is, so she says, a superb singer; my uncle can't read or write at all, but can play music. I love music for the lyrics alone. I'm tone deaf and I wouldn't be able to play it at all.
And painting, you really show what a creative person you are here. I like the references to your painting.
