Notes About The Poem

Paint the Sky

i’m going to paint a silly picture
as big and bold as big and bold can be
release the most flamboyant colors feeling free
and o what awesome dreams they’ll conjure

i’ll grab my biggest paintbrush
the one that shapes the biggest strokes
for folks i’ll paint a hundred thousand rainbows 
and children’s laughter will overthrow their hush

i’ll pick the brightest hues of cheerful blue
to paint the sky its merriest joyful shade
all birds will want to fly and happily parade
while belting out their songs in praise for you

Timothy Mcguire March 6, 2020 at 10:00 PM This poem captures painting perfectly. Painting in not how it looks but how the painter feels while painting. Line Gauthier March 6, 2020 at 11:57 PM So true. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Timothy.
