Orbis Pictus

Strange greens
and burning reds 
in flecks of cobalt blue-
highlighting his painted world of
colour

Tribute to the art of Oskar Kokoschka

I wish sometimes you could post these canvas for us to see them. You should have a book published with these master on one side, and your succint expressions on the other. Are you an art teacher? If so you must have exciting classes. Thanks always, Brian, highest regards.

Again, a poem of simplicity that creates a world for the reader to immerse themselves with. A lot of writers (myself included) would have taken up stanza after stanza with a theme such as this, and would still not have created the same impact. A wonderfully crafted poem.
