The Perfect Painting: Painting and Poetry In One

With her brush and canvas, she charily dash Slowly and surely, never ever she rushed Each stroke a decisive measured stoke Yielding a beauty of light and heavy poke A family of emotions, she does evoke Even palette of events she illustrates As she aims for a perfect painting People that sees, admiration they rain Her perfect painting, placed high like bling-bling Persons exclaim adoration similar to a king Yet to someone, starting dreams it deteriorate Is her perfect painting implies coup de grace? Frustration it deliver... it generates... Her encouraging words useless to brace Even to bounce for a breathing space Her picture did neither criticize nor mock Yet, its fairness silently touched and pluck Probably causing a string of charign Swift as the gust of a passing wind The effects felt timeless strong never thins Inspiration: the video with these: "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen" by Leonardo de Vinci and "painting is silent poetry and poetry is painting that speaks" by Plutarch (c) Olive Eloisa 6:20 pm May 28, 2014 CONTEST: The Perfect Painting Sponsor: Elly Wouterse 3rd place, to God be the greatest glory.. :)

Painting is Poetry, I like those two words fused together, it makes perfect sense. The perfect painting for me, would be the one we have spoken about Oliz ;-) hugs//Dino Jamesxxx

I could picture a painter, calculating her breath, the weight she puts on her brush and the emotions she must let out in order to create. I can also see multiple muses guiding each move of her brush.
