A Brush of Ars Poetica

A BRUSH OF ARS POETICA Rhythmic verses wherein death paints a picturesque of life or life itself is written in lethargic-dying state: a dusty stocked vocabulary still cuts like a knife when done and re-phrased witty, nonparallel and ornate. Like the azure fluffy clouds parading affront the sun, its smiling hue of yellow-orange kisses sleeping hope-- softly flaming those frugal thoughts in grace and wonder stun, remarkable enough to line dream stanzas ropes and slopes. Strokes cast spells of rattles, rambles to erratic silence allowing trembles to twang murmurs upon hardened hearts same as magnet it attracts eyes and ears to your essence because your speech ushers morals incubating fresh starts. _______________________________________________________________ ***Sponsor Thomas Martin Contest Name Ars Poetica ++Placed 1st++ O.E. Guillermo 2:26 pm, March 06, 2015 ***I define art of poetry as variations of light and dark, life and death, pale and vibrant, real and fiction... Writing poetry resurrects life even to a scene spelling disaster and death. Art of poetry embodies every angle aiming to touch the senses. Deep and superficial, all around breathing or not screams/is an art of poetry.

Hi Olive, this is a work of art and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It commands respect to write like this. Well done. Although I am not familiar with quatorzain. I will do the research.

Emile, my poems range from simple day to day experiences and reflections to I think deep revelation and realizations of some things.. Yes, I intend at times to challenge the thinking of my readers... as how I exercised my mind writing.. I also want to the same to the reader.. =')
