Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Studio

I'd worked on a canvas for hours
Wishing I had van Gogh's powers
to blend shades of floral bowers
Painting flowers     painting flowers

I rearranged them in a vase
on a table cloth fringed in lace
and saw the mess in my loft space
"Look at this place!   Look at this place!"

Splotches of blue, yellow and green
covered the floor across the scene
reds, pinks, and all hues in between
I have to clean!         I have to clean!

I found a can of turpentine
and soaked my brushes in a stein
The scent stronger than oil of pine
I must recline          I must recline

David Kavanagh April 10, 2021 at 6:30 AM Heya Jenna, I’ve been in a few artists studios in my day, and this one is quite normal, I think it brings character to their surroundings, same way as your poem brings character to life, best of luck in the contest, cheers David Jenna Logan April 10, 2021 at 6:35 AM If I had that much space it would exactly the same! Thanks for your kind thoughts, David.

Mark Koplin April 10, 2021 at 5:51 AM Even the floor looks like a work of art. Amazing!! Jenna Logan April 10, 2021 at 6:34 AM ha ha, Mark. To an artist...it is in the most abstract way! Thanks.

Jack Horne April 9, 2021 at 11:53 AM this is a sure winner in the contest Jenna Logan April 9, 2021 at 1:47 PM Thank you for thinking so, Jack.

Jan Allison April 9, 2021 at 10:06 AM Jenna this is an excellent interpretation of the contest prompt, I am not artistic at all and admire those who have the talent:-) hugs Jan xx Jenna Logan April 9, 2021 at 10:11 AM Thanks so much, Jan. The mess sometimes includes fingers and face, and so difficult to clean if painting with oils, and scent of turpentine can bring about a headache.
