A Pastel Painting

A  soft chalk pastel painting            
white as the dolls of Japan

red, green and blue
secure the trees to the sky

cheap hairspray fixes the dust,
paper toothed and rough

in the wooden frame
the picture keeps you in view.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Pastel chalk on paper. The hair spray hold...you're an artist with chalk and words, Robert.
