blank-faced the page calls
each pounded pore of rice waits 
brush tips dance on pointed toe 
or fall like curtains
stark poser of questioned light
much more is left than finished

softer surface calls 
needle prick the skin of white
adorning torsos and limbs 
shaded dragon roil 
as biceps flex and uncurl 
much more is left unfinished

sea green stones of jade
shade and shadowed by chisel
leaves and limbs of trees precise
form rows dark and light
frozen forests unmoving
much more is left unfinished

Shadows fall on all three images that you present, Debbie. Light and dark giving you an able hand in this creative poem. / I wish you a happy Valentine's Day! // paul

A monochrome masterpiece Debbie! From the dancing brush, to body art, onto nature's habitat. I loved it! 7
