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. August 5, 2019

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.

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

You changed brush for a pen and created your own mini masterpiece John. That was a kind gesture sending it to the artist. Tom.

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

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
