Describing Change

The black moving night,a covering shawl
Circles the world before the golden dawn
While we underneath are always in awe,
of the changes in light we look upon
Beautiful colors appear from this change
And enter the eye of the artist's mind
As pages are filled, decriptions exchange
Poets write colored pictures to remind
The reds and blues depict from flowing quills
Give color to words across the pages
And though artist words will never fulfill
The colorful skies seen through the ages

Bow to the artist who paints the red sky
And for the poet's words , used to reply

ah, you know how I enjoy your sonnets, they're usually winners with me, and this is surely one of your best...lovely use of colour, and you've portrayed the difficulty of recreating the world through mere words and pictures very well; those last two lines really clinched it as a winner - congrats! :)

wonderful tribute this is to artist of pictures as well as artist of words. So you hitchhiked by never saw Iowa, huh? I think going along the main freeway you would miss so much. it's the little towns with the hills and parks and trees. that is where the beauty lies in almost every state.

never traveled the free ways much, I remember traveling through wyoming when there was 1 person per sq mile, not to many small towns, but ever town was small...
