Sotto Poet Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

I Breathe Pure Life

Catch the sound of green petals 
 echo the thoughts of my mind 
  left with a weak feeling 
 while gently waving your thumb 
 lack of procrastination 
 Amadeus Theme 
 with its complex dynamics

The nightingale was full of happiness 
 in the sound of the melody wind 
 The azure sky glitters 
 got into me with their lyrics

Michael Cheval is a modern artist noted for his "Absurdist" paintings, sketches, and portraits. Cheval's art is a mystery. His artwork's title and graphics include hints of its secret significance. According to him, absurdity is the opposite of rationality. It's neither surrealist nor subliminal. His metaphorical art takes a trained eye to identify hidden allusions.

Besma Riabi Dziri August 17, 2022 at 1:09 PM So different are the two languages, that of the painter and the one of the poet.. but both are Artists to the bone in rendering their very thoughts, feelings and visions.. What you have painted with your words is so impressive, Lassad! And your avid beholder would relish in your artistry! I like so much this type of poetry, it wonderfully displays the dimensions of beauty the poet is able to reach! Great one deserving all the honour and an outshining placement! My deepest regards and blessings

Jennifer Proxenos August 14, 2022 at 12:04 PM Absurdity as opposed to rationality, surrealist as opposed to subliminal but it's neither nor, so it is up to the beholder to look at it with a trained eye to interpret and puzzle out the meaning of this modern artists metaphorical art, Michael Cheval. Very clever poem my friend Lasaad. Hugs and blessings Jennifer
