insular

A romantic rendering inspired by John Flanagans latest posting, "moments with Keats". Although my work is that of a lesser, nascent poet.

 


insular

the afternoon’s declining light softens

glistening hues on the canvass lose luster

pale light infuses with the passion of paints

Wagnerian drama yields to a Strauss waltz

 

shadows toy with imagination concealed

moments before in the blaze of sunlit day

the rush of crimson hogs hair transforms into

the silky touches of sable mops escorting pastels 

 

insular imagination is a secular canvass

ebony and ivory the breadth of its strokes

painted only before the glory of falling light

in the dusk as fear arrives, dabble into options

 

when the palette drips with every shadowed hue

the insular brush resolves to appreciate the passion

of romance plotted with the excitement of new

sharing canvasses of opportunities  in soft light

I agree with John, Jon. There's nothing lesser
about you or your pen. I love every line, particularly
"the palette drips with every shadowed hue." -gene.

i lke the Wagnerian drama yielding to a Strauss waltz,
an entire softening of tone and mood, and throughout the poem
(for which i take no credit whatsoever! and to me you are
never in any way 'lesser') i love the blend of music
and painting images...art is art, regardless of medium

this is fine indeed, My Friend
