The Poetry of Color

Colors dancing ‘cross the canvas
from the artist’s seasoned brush;
hues of reds and mauves and blues all
waltzing slowly in a hush.

Swaying softly to the music
drifting calmly through my mind;
the poetry of colors, and their
gentle beauty undefined.

Closing eyes I see a sunset,
hear a tender twilight tune,
see the poetry of colors
dancing slowly ‘neath the moon.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 8/7/2019 12:54:00 PM A true artist's rendition of what poetry is - poetry is magical and takes us to other realms - our imagery in writing poetry is prompted by a deep fascination of this relaxing, awesome, peter pan world - we become a Jenn (or John) in Wonderland! Such a wonderful poem , well penned my friend, Hugs, Jenn. Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 8/7/2019 1:09:00 PM Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Jenn, I think this is so true. I know when I write, I am taken to that imaginary place, at least for just a moment. All the best to you my dear friend. Hugs, John

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/5/2019 7:59:00 AM You changed brush for a pen and created your own mini masterpiece John. That was a kind gesture sending it to the artist. Tom. Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 8/5/2019 8:21:00 AM Thanks, Tom, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. I have several poems that have been inspired by paintings that I have seen and I have several paintings posted with poems that I have written. The artists always appreciate the recognition the same as we do through our comments. Have a great week! John

Heidi Sands Date: 8/5/2019 7:08:00 AM This is beautiful John. I love the flow and images. A favorite for me :) Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 8/5/2019 7:19:00 AM Thank you, Heidi. I know there are a few artists out there as well as yourself who I thought might enjoy this. This was inspired by a painting I saw a couple weeks ago with the same title. After I wrote the poem I sent it to the artist and she was quite thrilled that her piece had inspired a poem. Thanks for the fav. All my best. John
