Poetic Thoughts - Outsider Artist - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Mar. 05, 2026

Poetic Thoughts header

The poem below is for my friend and neighbor Oriette 'Cookie' Cash Butcher.

Outsider Artist

her imagination is fired
as soon as
she sees the surface -
she paints
as freely on cardboard
as she does on canvas -
her mind manipulates
odd-shaped objects
with ease and joy
into creations
of beauty and contemplation
