Edgar Degas did not mingle
so shy he remained single
His art self contained & absorbed
perfect though expensive 'daubs'

Paintbrush colours blue
indigo to ocean hues
and baby blue tints
cerulean daubs on canvas
next to Prussian blue patches.

the sky is like a canvas
splashed with modern art
multi coloured daubs of clouds
streaks of blue apart
a reddish splodge sun
slowly slides towards the edge
and dusk has begun

Sand sprinkled crest of dust daubs
but there cushioned azures
lives magic swirled in cotton soft
Where lines and dots
imagination caught
reflection in imprfection
Where spurts of red drags you from
your course
paint touched with eyes
that always saw
more

Wilted rose petals
unable to attract bees.
Concubine's mirror
holds the reflection of gloom
as she daubs rouge on wrinkles.

Thermite skies burning through the storm
Hapless waves contort their form
Every whisper cottoned with a foaming roar
Shoreline beaten and eroded
Tryst becomes a love affair
Oiled dabs and daubs
Rinsed highlights splattered with death blacks
Mesmerised by storms eye quiet lack

Diluted ink blots
splashed
at random
mingle
as improvised
calligraphic doodles
Spontaneous
accidental drips
drop to & fro
Daubs pressed upon
the virgin white
Wet,wet colour
a sponge
soak-stained
a
happening
in memory's
drawer
of the moment
forever frozen in time

in the shadows
primary colours
become gold
pastel patches
transfuse
the translucent
leaves
in colour
and
daubs
all living things
its warmth to bring
each eve
waves its good-bye
this perpetual light
divides day from night,

Imagism
It's too dark for her.
She daubs mascara on glass.
The mirror has no arms...
Night's just in the morning.
There existing, the eyes ran
Upon former years, tears
The mood stops, reflecting
Make faces, she's mine
Broken embers from limbs
Vice and crash,
Both's empty blood —
She's twisting surfacing
Barbwire that
Blocks out
Shards

Diluted ink blots,splashed
at random on the canvas
mingle with improvised
calligraphic doodles.
Spontaneous accidental drips,
by drop,across the floor,to and
fro.Daubs of paint,pressed upon
the virgin white.Wet,wet colour
soak-stained by a sponge.
Hanging vertical in the hall,a
happening of paraphernalia,
keepsakes from memory's
drawer.Experiences of the moment,
expressed,forever frozen in time
Structured prose verse.

Bio
The late-afternoon sun crouches behind me,
daubs my shadow across the pale concrete of the ground,
a black brushstroke stretching on an ink-brush painting,
towards where you’re standing,
deep in thought, turned away.
So my shadow spills up your legs,
the small of your back,
your nape,
until my head is on yours,
shadow nuzzling hair,
black on black,
a smudge,
like a bad painting.
The closest contact we have these days.

As a child I would place my closed eyes
in them
while she hummed Gaelic melodies.
Her smock, it was brown
like a butchers apron
but without a speck of blood,
just daubs of fruit dumplings
and the savor of elderberry flowers.
Grandmother had large hands
working hands,
when they closed
it was as if her story book
had closed
at the end of every day,
and that is how she goes away
always very quietly
at the end of every day.
