Equilibrium Of Brushstrokes

An artist paints in

visions...to some eyes

fleeting like leaves on

a breeze,

 

art work also portrays flesh

out of positive energy,

compelled by

stylish originality,

 

a creative force this

unexplored charisma,

where intense movement

so vibrant sets ingenuity,

 

encouraged by

piquant satisfaction;

enthusiasm drifting

through imagination,

 

depicting ruddiness

those blushing cheeks

posing eagerly;

discovering flirtation,

 

inclined to splash intrigue

maybe a little too much,

but mischief has meaning

when stumbling on pleasure,

 

those twinkling eyes gesture

with dimpled confident smile,

put at ease by skilled qualities;

anticipating each brushstroke a work of art.

It must be very satifsying to be able to get down what is in your mind, espcially nuances of shade or expression. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

Artists have visions that needs to be painted, like you say, it must be so satisfying to achieve expression and feel proud.

Thank you for reading and your thoughts.

It's always nice to hear from you Di. Sadly I'm not painting at present, there just doesn't seem to be any time now my partner's retired. I do like to spend as much time with him as possible,

The I P this week had me thinking about the anticipation of seeing the finishing product of a piece of art and the work that goes into creating it.

I'm really pleased you liked my poem and thank you so much for letting me know.

Jenny.

I'm sorry to hear you're not painting at the moment.  There is something wonderful about watching a painting take shape.  My dad used to paint, and watching him bringing things to life with the brush used to fascinate me.  A lovely poem, Jenny.

Thanks for sharing Jennifer. I'm not a poet or an English grad so I can't comment on mechanical/technical stuff in poetry, but I liked this a lot.

Breaking down a simple action into poetry is really effective. Reminds me of some Diane Cluck lyrics; she says she writes lyrics by just "telling the truth" and it always results in beauty. look her up, I think you'd like her songs' writing.

Anyway I had a great time with this. I'm hoping to read more poetry/learn more about it so I can leave more helpful feedback for people who write it!

Hi airyfairy,

so sorry for the delay in thanking you for your comment. I've been hacked in my email and was unable to get into my in box. Hopefully it's all sorted out now, but It's such a worry when it happens.

Any way glad you liked my poem and thank you for letting me know.

Jenny.

I do appreciate your feedback which was much appreciated.

That the second time I've seen the word "piquant" used on this site recently. A wonderful word that seems to lend itself to writing.

Hi again marandina,

I can never get enough of words, spending hours going through the dictionary and looking for their meanings. It's one of those books I never get bored of.

Thank you so much for letting me know you read and enjoyed.

Jenny.
