Poetic Images

Writing stories with paint Painting words with art You imagine, what I create Finish and start I'll capture your moments With my device When it becomes past tense It will more than suffice Oblivious to your beauty You haven't yet discovered Highlighting is my duty You'll adore what I uncover Just relax and breathe Let your colors shine While I retrieve Your angles divine With every shutter I can easily reveal As smooth as butter Your utmost appeal Just say the word You won't regret It would be absurd To let you forget Time is elusive As with looks I won't be intrusive You'll cherish what I took It's not just a picture You must agree Toss my touch in the mixture And you will see

I've tried to write many poems over the years to decribe painting with words, but not even come close to doing it as good as you have her. This is a masterpiece in it'self. I really enjoyed it well done. A 7 at least. you are excellent. best wishes. Pete. Keep painting.

Thank you! I have to admit, this is a poem about photography though. It is very interesting that you have such a different take on it. ;)
