Notes About The Poem

painting by Lin Lane

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Gift of a Painting

He offered me a painted flower
  Its genus I did not know
But the token gift had the power
  to melt my heart of snow
I really didn't give a fig
  if it had been a bent twig
The gift he rendered on a whim
  came from the best part of him

The best part of each of us is a loving heart. Your painting is eloquent and the poem, a great match. A FAV for my list, my friend. Smiles ~ Blessings to a gifted poet. Hugs, Bill

Wow this one seems to be going stratospheric Lin, has that (je ne sais quoi) element, with painting and poem complimenting each other perfectly, yes it is the thought that counts, even if just a bent twig! Very Impressive, cheers David

There is genius in the genus!

I'm not sure what's so special about either of them. It's just a rather simple painting and poem... but I'll not complain about the views and comments. Thanks for yours, David.

Thanks so very much, Kim. I started painting on a dare but I think I just dabble at it.

A truly, lovely poem dear Lin accompanied perfectly with your beautiful painting. You are so creatively talented with pen and paintbrush- what a glorious combination! I love the title too and especially the last two lines which is the essence of the poem. Romantic! A pleasure to read and see your artwork. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and smiles xx :):)

aww what a touching piece Lin I especially loved the fig and twig line and melting a heart of snow - it truly is the thought that counts. You are such a talented lady, a gifted artist and your poetry is exquisite :-) hugs Jan xx

An old painting; a newer poem and both have a lot of meaning to me. Thank you, Jan.
