Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Autumn's Gown

I sketched with pen the outlines of clustered naked trees
With brush in hand I painted with care and utmost ease.

Outpouring of emotions on canvas splashed in hues
With freedom of expression I shed away my blues
A captivating picture – the flair of ardent muse.

The yellow, red and orange mixed well with mauve and brown
With eager strokes I finished and called it Autumn’s Gown.

Charmaine Chircop September 23, 2014 at 10:07 AM I love that Autumn Gown.It would make such a lovely painting in my hall: ).When I read this I didn't see just autumn colours,but I could sense and feel the mixture of bright and mild colours,as such is life with all its highs and lows.That freedom of expression is indeed a healer to our blues and a voice to inner joy.A spectacular poem in hundred shades of Fall.Indeed an artist of words ,Paul.

Robert Lindley September 14, 2014 at 9:21 AM I came back to read your new writes and reviewed this gem again. Adding this one to my fav list my friend. Failed to do so the first read because I was rushed away to run an errand for my darling wife! Honey-do's take precedence over my readings and writings... Remedy now has been applied. Bravo on this gem... Paul Callus September 14, 2014 at 11:18 AM Thank you Robert for revisiting and for the fave; you are too kind! I do appreciate both your encouragement and support my friend. Yes, there are things that take precedence over others, and one of them is keeping our better half happy! // paul

As to your last remark....you are not far off the mark as I enjoy doing both, though now-a-days I find little time to paint. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. // paul
