John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

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 August 7, 2019 at 12:54 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. John Gondolf August 7, 2019 at 1:09 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 August 5, 2019 at 7:59 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. John Gondolf August 5, 2019 at 8:21 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 August 5, 2019 at 7:08 AM This is beautiful John. I love the flow and images. A favorite for me :) John Gondolf August 5, 2019 at 7:19 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
