Tropical Impressionist ascenders,
colorist defenders were everywhere,
Multicolored Malay Lacewings ... there,
added ambiance to the fanfare years,
the species are restricted to forest
reserves due to its flowering host plant,
Adenia's, in the regions, cate's length,
colors change, sociable, pupae process,
soon a new adult emerges and mates,
confirming progressions of the species.
Unique to Asian Isles in the Southeast,
black, white, yellow, red, bluish saturates.
Monet at a distance would have caught flight,
colorful butterflies, shadow's midst light.
Hues, colorist daunting;
Beautiful painted picture;
Glowing glossy wonderful picture,
in mine eye frame;
Beautiful you are;
My daring so;
More brilliant than the moon glows and sun;
You’re the one and only one picture;
That beats in mine heart so;
Picture of you my lovely one;
Mine painting of beauty done;

The Colorist
He searched the shelves of his heart
and discovered hiding there
his poetic palette,
all his colors, true and fair.
He opened the cupboard
where the canvas frames lay
and on an easel began to paint
the shades of his heart's bouquet.
The pastels freely flowed
into a prismatic reflection
of his latent memory,
of life's inconstant perfection.
In the painting of his poems,
his memories vividly convey
all the joys and sorrows
he came to know along his way.

Mist over the pond,
Morning bliss responds to light:
Lavender in bloom.
·
New purple roses,
Surround the Japanese bridge:
In lilac aura.
·
Vast purple petals,
Mixed phlox and lilies fresh scent,
Perfume morning air.
·
Soft sunlight appears,
Lush gardens bathe in warm rays:
Dissipating mist.
·
A mauve perspective,
The warm light casts reflections,
Of the French landscape.
·
A colorist scene,
Scrutinizing color change:
Unwritten poems.
