Notes About The Poem

For the Choose a topic sentence poetry contest by Miranda Hawley

Sentence is in bold in first line.

Silent pain behind art

The art was most masterful on the dark canvas, portraying an artist's mind when feeling anxious. His palette compiled of pastels in shades of grey, weaved brushstrokes in symphonies pain can play. His eyes consumed in obsidian thoughts untold, he splashed secrets he was once afraid to unfold. Emotions bled as his mind reflected midnight's trance, but each stroke was a shield against a demon's advance. Hues of onyx were now replaced by vibrant tones, as shadows slowly drowned out ignorant moans. He created a masterpiece of soft yellow moonlight, as his artistry portrayed bright sapphire daylight. An avant-garde maestro flowing in textured motion, painting stars like diamonds in his inky ocean. Rainbows and sunshine now reside in his realm, where his abstract art crafts a harmonious helm.

I believe that the title of your poem applies to the poet's thought-construction of the poem itself, especially in moving from 'obsidian thoughts to a harmonious realm' -- just as much as to the finished product itself. Huzzah! A FAVE for me... And congrats on POTD. Well-deserved, Silent. Thanks, gw

Dear Silent One, deep emotions bleed through your poetry, so, it's easy to see why you choose this phrase. Viewing life through dark moments, and then, seeing light somewhere in-between. Once again, you've painted a tender mood through your words. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Congratulations on your POTD Silent One! The metaphor of obsidian thoughts untold, conjures up for me, a gleaming sleek, ebony presence formed through volcanic volitility. I think I got that right, Awesome!
