The Poet's Brush

To your achromatic canvas fresh without a mark upon it, I'll paint a crimson road of chance and a bright tangerine bonnet. With detail, I'll add two young girls, coffee-skinned lasses without cream, made sweet by their long, dark tresses and hopes for that bonnet, their dream. Down the middle of this tableau I'll trace a canal in cyan which crosses the road - a stricture twixt girls, the bonnet and their plan. A well-bronzed boy and russet raft I'll sketch to solve this small wrinkle. Then I'll craft a second bonnet; this one colored periwinkle. While this image seems incomplete in your mind's eye, with poet's brush you will create a final scene of flamboyance. No need to rush. written: August 1, 2012
