Jo Chamberlain Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Paint Strokes

Ebony braids, moon misplaced
Indigo inferno flames
Speckled iris, abstract face

Drowsy eyes, acrylic paint
Haunted ash tree, trailing bleak
Torrid patchwork women faint

Pigeons perch on scribbled lines
Chanting fire petals dance,
Abstruse art, bewildered mind

Thank you Joanna for your kind visit to my page Jo Chamberlain May 25, 2022 at 5:45 AM Thank you, I was very pleased with how this poem turned out.

Andy Chunn May 16, 2022 at 7:26 PM I'm not sure exactly why this one appeals to me so deeply. Well placed words, much like the silence in music, are very dramatic. Thanks for the interesting poem. Jo Chamberlain May 17, 2022 at 12:30 AM Thank you. I wanted to do something a little different. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Gershon Wolf May 10, 2022 at 6:23 PM Stark stuff! The cubism and Ayn Rand in me give it two thumbs up! ~ Gershon Jo Chamberlain May 11, 2022 at 6:14 AM Yay! thank you. I love the feedback. Have a lovely day.

David Kavanagh April 10, 2022 at 2:12 PM This is wonderful Joanna, descriptive language is powerfully abstract, you tantalise the reader with a B&W image, then give us colourful hints lines and shapes to build upon, bringing the intensity of the spectacle to life, my interpretation, but in essence your poem, cheers David Jo Chamberlain April 10, 2022 at 2:40 PM Thank you for your comment. I really let my imagination run away with me when writing this poem. I'm happy with the way it turned out.
