Tim Smith Poet Personification

Moving Pictures - Primitive Production

Bent down blue in prismatic fashion
refracted in reflection mirrored in sight
flames flicker and my mind twirls
round and round with an image seen
dancing with the flight of the flame
absorbed in defiance of the perceived sane

Primitive pictures bringing about motion
fauna at play in the peaceful meadow
the cobalt sea submerged out of focus
and imagination is left to wander about
dwelling through caves of thoughts hidden
a production of an indescribable landscape

Painting colours dipped religiously in red and white
conceive the inconceivable emerging from the light

Demetrios Trifiatis April 8, 2017 at 10:16 AM Masterfully done my friend, Tim! I loved it!

Darren White April 8, 2017 at 12:48 AM I read your reply to Charmaine, and now I read your poem differently. This is so craftfully done! I've seen that once, those first moving pictures, and how it was made and performed, so awesome. Really, really beautiful my friend

Arthur Vaso April 7, 2017 at 10:41 PM Lovely poem, I thought close to what Charmaine thought, and very curious if I gathered the true meaning of this fine write.

Charmaine Chircop April 7, 2017 at 3:29 PM The dipping colors religiously in red and white..Somehow made me think of a red and white maltese flag with the cross on it :)...Dont know why my mind went there..Love the image you put on my mind..Tim. Tim Smith April 7, 2017 at 9:58 PM You are very close with your thinking...The red and white represent the papal colours that thought finding evidence the earth was older than the Bible states was blasphemy. The moving picturres were 35,000 years old.

Charlie Smith April 7, 2017 at 1:53 PM Enjoyed the show, thanks Tim... Tim Smith April 7, 2017 at 9:55 PM Yes, it was quite a show for the time

Chris Green April 7, 2017 at 1:24 PM Very abstract and very cool Tim. I like the overall feel of this, it leans in a nostalgic direction. Tim Smith April 7, 2017 at 9:55 PM Thanks Chris...The scene is set in the early 19th century
