The Paint Mover - Art-Poetry

The Paint Mover - Art-Poetry


The poet paints deep thoughts with words
      the artist duplicates with paint;
          sometimes described as 'sister arts',
disparities are only faint.

So passionate my need to draw
     before my art with words began;
          emotions caught with crayons first
and then with flowing paint, they ran.

Great images I longed to seize
     to capture nature with a brush,
and with my colors blending life...
          within my soul, I felt the rush.

Like meter, rhyme, a paintbrush moves
     to balance rhythms of a scene
portrays deep beauty for the eyes...
          'art-poetry'...not read, but seen.

Space Cadet Date: 11/27/2016 9:32:00 AM First, such a stunning painting and congrats in the contest: The painting alone is poetry. I enjoy how you relate meter and rhyme in poetry with your paintbrush, the act and movement of balance in the scene. Such a great topic to dive into bc there are so many ways to see a portrait that words won't explain. In my perspective, I hear both of these works (the painting and your poem) sing a melody, but the differences are far from faint: This makes both pieces all the more intriguing.

Christy Stover Date: 11/12/2016 2:03:00 AM An exquisitely beautiful poem capturing the essence of the true artist. I'm writing about artistic movements on my blog. I started with Surrealism but am looking for another to write about. Maybe you could check out my site www.poeticwritings.com and help me to decide what to write about next. I'd appreciate input from a talented artist.
