Visual Art

The orange sunset bleeds, and in its wake Corona of moon flaunts a hue…opaque; To etch one’s vision until dawn rises While brushstrokes in oil abandon the day-- With pigment lavender circling away. And tints slip-slide on radiant flowers Where a pond’s varnished tones daub evening hours , That olive boughs hang on an easel moist Embellishing garlands utterly white Along ebullient woodland, red and bright. How such panorama fires one dappled trance Allowing colors their primitive vibrance… As still- life bursts like a god's creation : Here, an artist traces traces again In night’s chill … bold paint splashing nature's grain.
