Stirring impressions flood

gallery, imagination now

silently engaging; not on

canvas...but with words,

 

art dips and dives; passions

reflect an alternate realm,

where pen takes flight

securing contentment of

positiveness.

 

Being quintessential is not

important; I embrace those

unfettered feelings fleshed

out in colours...illustrious

shapes and shades, tapestry

of images seen in explosion

of exuberance with each

trickle of hue expelled –

 

showers burst, splashes

dissolving, generating

tumbling waves; steady

new formations emerge,

becoming clearer.

 

Embrace shifting karma,

never knowing where

expression takes me next...

a nomad of the arts.

You're quite right in your comment Jacques. I just love contemporary art, being able to go where you want without any constrictions...especially when it comes to writing.

Thank you for your lovely words.

P. S. I loved your piece called The Art Of Believing. My sentiments too.

what a visual poem! I am guessing you are starting to feel Autumnal with all the richness!

Hello Di,

you know I'm desperate for Autumn to arrive. Those beautiful bohemian colours of fallen leaves, the welcoming wind to brush away the cobwebs of this heat, which leaves me breathless and lethargic.

I just thought with this poem that if there's a freedom in contemporary art, why not with poetry too.

I'm so happy you enjoyed reading this poem, and a really big thank you for those lovely cherries, which are greatly appreciated.

Cherries were already there when I read your lovely poem! I wonder if you have invented a kind of writing? It is very recognisably yours. I used to like trying to make pictures from music - it is very interesting to me to read your poems about colour :0) Autumn has arrived where I am, at least the trees are all turning,and now it has rained it is much fresher! I hope it cools down where you are too, very soon!

Hello Di, Oops! I just assumed that you left the cherries. You know I always find music so inspiring while I'm writing. I would love to read some more of your work, especially about nature, which I know you love too.

Some of the leaves have started to fall from our trees, but it's still warm even though it's rained. Thankfully tomorrow is going to be cooler.

Thanks for coming back and having a chat. smiley

Jenny.

As a working musician and a keen amateur artist, I really enjoyed this - there is definitely a lyrical quality to this work.

Wow! I'm truely honoured that you read my poem...especially being a musician. Contemporary art, and music allows the spectator to draw their own conclusions on what they see - hear and feel, which is why for me writing is so important. 

I used to paint a lot, but these days I prefer to write my feelings down.

Any way I'm glad you liked my poem, and apprciate you taking the time to let me know.

Many thanks,

Jenny. smiley

Always good to see your pen taking flight. A lovely poem; a pleasure to read. Paul :)

Hey! Great to hear from you Paul. Hope you are well.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I've visited an art gallery in Swindon, which kind of inspired this poem.

Just love the arts and how they make one appreciate others work.

Look forward to reading some more from you, and thank you so much for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.

you are a nomad Jenny, but you always return to poetry and bring the words home.

Hi Jack,

always great to hear from you and thanks for reading, and your kind  comment.  I just love the idea of being a nomad, if only in my mind. wink
