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

Andy Chunn Date: 5/16/2022 7:26:00 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.

David Kavanagh Date: 4/10/2022 2:12:00 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 Login to Reply Jo Chamberlain Date: 4/10/2022 2:40:00 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.
