Two shadows
silhouettes
the brush is gone
the picture morphs
we question the grey
in clouds, the pink
horizon, ghostly fingers
point and trace
edges that bleed
into moments
smearing lifetimes
a surreal
panoramic
haze
it covers me
My response to dVerse Poets Pub Poetics: Poetics: The Poet as Painter
I was also inspired by the video above – love the lyrics!
the brevity of lines are like short brush strokes of colour and form – so well painted, this poem!
Thanks, Laura, this was an awesome prompt! 🎨🖌 Enjoyed clicking on all the art in your post!
I love how you went into fingers and body with the lack of a brush conquering grey with the pink and the haze.
Thanks Bjorn! I appreciate your feedback! 💕
The brevity seems to make the lines more potent, drawing us into the surreal panoramic haze. Loved it.
Thanks, Dora! I felt like it was better once I started cutting words out. 💖
You’re a master at editing. Good talent to have. 🙂
🥰
This is absolutely stunning! 😀 I so love; “we question the grey in clouds, the pink horizon, ghostly fingers point and trace edges that bleed.” 💝💝
Thanks, Sanaa! I always enjoy your feedback! 💝🥳
Lovely blending, Tricia. Ghostly fingers and smudging. I enjoyed your Ekphrastic poem.
Pleased to hear you enjoyed it! 💝💝
Covered by that panoramic haze…just where I’d like to be right now, surreally. This is really outstanding work, TS. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words! ❣️☺️
‘edges that bleed into moments’ is a great descriptive phrase for the abstract art ….. wonderful.
Thanks, Helen! I enjoy abstact art because it is so evocative! ❤️
I think you’ve described a breakup perfectly here.
Yes, I think anything that takes away our control would work. And a breakup definitely would! ❤
Through the haze, a sharply written poem. I so love the vibrancy of these lines:
point and trace
edges that bleed
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback, Grace! ❣️
I love the short lines and phrases, Tricia, like the flick of a brush, the delicte use of colour, and those edges that ‘bleed into moments smearing lifetimes’.
Thanks, Kim! I appreciate your thoughts!❣️
Beautiful words of poetry ❤🌹
Thanks so much! 🥰
you are most welcome ❤🌹
I love what you’ve done here, picking out the edges! That’s where interesting things happen…
Thanks, Ingrid! This was fun to visualize an abstract painting in words!
“A surreal panoramic haze” sums it up beautifully.
I appreciate your comment! ❤
I love how you you weave the shadows and the colors of the clouds into the brushless painting…
Nice piece of music as well.
Thanks so much! Good to hear you enjoyed it! ❤
You are welcome!
