Pastels of Peace
I dream
in the golden glow
of a sakura orchid
nestled between blooming browns~
as saffron streaks of sunsets
spill syllables of l o v e and trust,
scented with sugared crystals,
emitting musical verses
to calm the inner child~
healing in silence
dusted with pastels of p e a c e.
But when the fragrance of
summer wanes,
leaving a heavy horizon
glistening with grieving

Tranquil Dream
there was a snake bathing in the sunset
draped around the veins, the dead branches
winter never welcomes reptiles
but it wore twilight like a heat lamp jacket
back flat, tobacco treat burning sweet
the switchgrass swayed like waves in wind
the blades carried my wading body as it bobbed
and swayed to the scent of serenity
lavender and apricot bled in the

Pastels
Nature flaunts a pallet of soft pastels,
She amply applies with an artist's brush.
And like pink sunsets and coral conk shells,
She transforms vivid inks into a blush.
Flowers display a plethora of tints,
like periwinkle, lavender, and rose.
And leaves come in an assortment of prints;
how many subtle shades; nobody knows.
Butterfly wings are mobile works of art,
painted in

Arts Pastels-
Flung in art pastel colors distance
Drawing things turning yes drawing
Canvas castello engaged and printing designing lonely leveling
schematic writings
And a paintings on the wall so alluring
Taking a photograph from out of my heart
Hand over hand meeting knots
That designing demonstration designing demonstration
Picture perfect murals
Dormant drawings
Charcoal tempura paint drawings
Graffiti pictures spray painted building walls
Designing demonstrations distance complications

Nature Pastels
Bright Green grass
To run through,
Play soccer in
And lay on
Dark Green trees
For climbing in
And shading me on hot sweltering days
From burning up like a tomato
Pink in the sky
In the evenings
Makes me feel all happy
Orange in the sky
In evenings
Looks so stunning
Blue in the sky
Is what I look forward to each day
Finally the Yellow sun
Is golden and

Lovely Pastels
It's not a painting made by a great artist,
but one notices lovely pastels as bright as spring colors,
my scenery has stately weepings willows
drooping as they awaken the ravens and larks from rest.
This vast valley crossed by a wide river is covered with scented pines,
blue clouds are estranged by dazzling sun rays,
and where they reach darkness

With Pastels In Hand
With pastels in hand,
I paint the life of the sea...
in sunny Capri.
Giant Cyclops settled here,
and fishermen still fear them...
legends become real.
Mermaids sing with lyre,
luring them in your cold deep...
as images appear.

Oil Pastels
Greasy film,
touch like silk,
glides across my sketch pad,
before it's time to have a nap,
bright, bright pastels,
etched across my nostrils,
in such fluorescent colours,
I can do no other,
oil pastels,
comes perfectly natural,
to someones naked eye,
it's time to sketch and say goodbye.

Sunrise In Pastels
I see the pastel colors,
Brightening the horizon of the morn.
I see the strokes of genius,
As broad undertones adorn.
There’s something about painting,
That seems to catch the eye.
From the magic of the art,
When the paint becomes dry.
Monet sketched out his vision,
And on a frame it shall dwell.
For he painted it to canvas,
Entitled sunrise in pastels.
