The editor didn't like my poem and wouldn't put the spaces and sizing in properly... sorry! Hope you can get the "picture" anyway...

 

      Painters and Framers
 
   Mama painted pictures
            with a brush

          and oil paints--

 Bringing color to our lives

But Papa framed the paintings
in his firm and simple way—

Providing us stability

and giving colors life
 

   Mama was the softness--
              the colors
            and the rain…

Papa was the solid edge
that held
the colors in

The strength of family, the foundation of strong parents, each in their own elements. Definitely a portrait to be framed and hung proudly. Wonderful analogy in this one Cryssa. Hugs, Elizabeth

Cryssa - This poem is as well-constructed as the painting and the frame of its subject. Excellent metaphors for the complementary qualities of mother and father. - David

I love this... my hubby wrote a poem sort of like this once... about how love is very like a picture in a frame... great to see how a muse will travel on pollen fuzz from brain to brain...

...and he framed in houses, where she planted multi-colored shades of flowers-- so we bloomed in secure walls. Interesting that-- both, creaters-- merging their skills to bring out the best in us. (Well, ideally...) --Charlie
