NO PAINTING REQUIRED

 

 

 

Brush strokes of blue and gray

to fill in the puffy clouds.

Crayon swipes of teal and aquamarine

to meet at the never-ending horizon.

Each wave swell of the purest white

to rise from the depths of dark blue.

My fingers reach for the canvas.

My eyes travel to the brushes.

I shake my head.

No painting is needed.

No copy to diminish the essence 

of a perfect summer day at the shore.

You have an uncanny way of matching a poem to the image presented. Brilliant.

Unfortunately, as I look at the image, it seems to be photoshopped. However, it could be an oil painting. A good example of realism.

Nature paints the best pictures,
her brushstrokes quite a feat,
and your words to color a perfect day,
is a poem that can't be beat.
