Painting of oblivion

The is uniformly white
A screen depicting nothingness
There is immobility.
Occasionally a red dot appears
When the mas of the void is moved.
Into the form of life
A beast or a human?
The mystery is no one knows
Why does randomness occur...

The last survivor of the human race
Depicting General
Master and genius
Night time
Food alert
Dangerous flying
Nightly heavens
Packed ditch

General heat
To fly
For five hundred parts...

Composed a poem for CONTEST, hoping to be the BEST,
waited anxiously for results days and nights,

depicting symphony of sunrise - chimes
from a temple SOAR in melodious GALORE!

My heart is swelling in my throat 
Candid emotions trespassing this note...
Love is the only cure to my heart
A cloud of fire depicting my past 
Now that you have finally arrived, 
trust and care would dwell inside.
My eternal lover we are not born to die...till we meet by the lakeside.

Symbols metaphorical 
Depicting wisdom literal
If interpreted by our mind
Contort meaning assigned
By the seer who has so seen
The realms where he has been
Where he cajoles us to follow
Making joyous heart mellow
That silence may enliven
Wisdom to us so given

Traditional dance from the dreamtime,
Doing "Bird Dance" at sleep time.
Here I am watching-the bird in it's nest-
To pass down the story of the dancers zest.

A small drawing depicting a story;
Of the bird and of its glory,
Expressed by a traditional dance;
Striking a pose, bird-stance.




With Much Respect To All Traditional and Contemporary Aboriginal Dancers....

Entry to "the colour blue" contest

Written 23rd January 2017

Note: based on Van Gogh's painting "the starry night" depicting the night-time view from his asylum window. Van Gogh's use of blue against yellow and white is the bluest blue I can imagine.

there's a little dog that's laughing
at a cow jumping the moon
and a cat playing a fiddle
on the wall of a bright room
where a mobile's hanging silent
waiting patiently to turn
like the pages on the bookshelf
that proclaim it's fun to learn
and there's a bible on a small crib 
with its cross depicting love
for a child born sadly sleeping
into arms of those above....
