Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Color Forms

COLOR FORMS

The movers and shakers of art delight.
In the shadowbox-brain they regain sight.

Dear Dorothy clicks her sarcoline heels.
Her striped boat sailing on sea-hued teals.

Zenith dawn blazes in coquelicot hue.
The artist’s tipsy trees blushed pink and blue.

Majestic Oz - smaragdine-jeweled city.
Ponies prance romantic colors - witty.

Brush brush brush then fill the scarecrow with straw.
His prideful chest overloaded and raw.

The movers and shakers of art transform
Fairy tales into surreal color forms.

sarcoline - flesh colored
coquelicot - (kohk-li-coh) - red like wild poppy
smaragdine (sma-rag-din) - emerald

Lindsay Laurie October 14, 2018 at 7:07 PM G'day Kim … plenty of colour splashed around in your poem Kim. The vocab of colour reminded me that the world of visual art is different to my stick figure drawings - thank you Kim - Lindsay Kim Rodrigues October 14, 2018 at 8:47 PM Thank you, Lindsay! :)

Caren Krutsinger October 12, 2018 at 8:09 PM A gorgeous write, Kim, that introduced me to so many new beautiful words to use for colors. I know this will do well in the contest; I truly had never heard of any of the three words you explained, so I am grateful that you did. A surreal poem, written by a magician, Kim, a maestro. My poets heart and my artists heart is awed. Kim Rodrigues October 12, 2018 at 8:12 PM Thanks so much, sweet friend!
