EKPHRASISTA- pointillista
Colour intermingled
in the spectator’s eye
divisions juxtapose
‘as is’ moment ..dot.. by dot..
frozen forever
as a ‘still-life’ shot
Colours in contrast
one next
to another
patiently painted
dab by dab
Planes into particles
pigments of paint
in patches react
divisionist,
pointillist juxtapose
into our eye colour flows.
Meticulous,mechanical
the illusion
into shape
palettes of the fleeting
made permanent

Colours in contrast
one next
to another,
patiently painted
dab by dab.
Cyan, magenta
yellow and key
illume the picture we see.
Planes into
particles,pigments of paint
in patches react
divisionist pointillist
juxtapose
into our eye
distinct colour flows
Meticulous mechanical
eye into mind defined
the illusion into shape.
In palettes of
permanance
the fleeting flies
sans such subtraction
luminosity lives
Seurat, and Signac’s
legacy survives
