Notes About The Poem

Creating a way to view the world.  Each person words creating their world.

 

 

 

 

A Wily Brush




A Wily Brush

The world has become my canvas
Everyone's paths
conjuring patterns
Vain ventures 
plenty vanities 
concocting colors 
As unflattering wills 
arouses a wily brush 

This world is a notating papyrus 
Each monk and mockery
fusing a lucid ink
As Pain taunts pleasure  
masking our actions 
with blending colors 

Different worlds are formed
Birthed by ephemeral words 
ushering a cascade of thoughts  
flaunting baskets
of friable dreams 
fashioning the pen
a flickering fiend 
flattering friends and foes 
a slick ink  
with a cloying unction

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
