Short Mural Poems

Painted in a mural,
Flat vision for eyesight.
Unable to connect.
The world is so unreal....

Muriel the mural,
Didn’t say much at all,
But she sure looked good,
Spread out on the wall....

On chamber walls mildew spreads.

The mural on the wall,
Traces of human experience,
Embraces the heart and foundation of this speck in the universe and
Elicits questions asked of men from all ages....

Whitewashed windy ways
broken bottle left of a throw up;
bombing the sky
failing to kill it;
sleepy, endless 
we need some color 
the Sun starts to piece
the Mural is released...

A one-off was Barnett Newman 
spectral closeness was his plan
He created the art of the zip*
two colours in a mural clip

As night descends
God's paintbrush colours the night sky.
As night descends
purple, pink and violet blends.
An artist's mural floating by.
Beauty to bring tears to the eye,
as night descends....

Like an iconoclast -
who desperately wants to remove
the portrayal of a false god
from the mural -
I want to relegate you;
your image from the chapel of my mind.
Oh, how I wish to do this tonight..!...

Political authenticity stirs gangs tagging ensued, Chicano mural in the brew





A single sentence rich in imagery, 23 syllables. 
Length is dictated by the one breath rule in the delivery of prose....

Sunbeams boast on dizzy bells.
She shouts:
Deceive me not, it is a sacred tale!
Sin reaches for my life mural.
My lies are tedious and unsuccessful.
Smile short with your vulgar whisper.
It's dazzling, but I won't survive....

I look around the church

I see the mural I wanted to show you

You can see it

But you're not beside me

I feel as if you're disappearing

Even though you really aren't

I miss you

Wish you were here

For my dear friend Kylie...

You want to take things
Off the grid
Disappear
Into the woods
Build a house
Turn the earth
Grow your food
Natural birth

I want to take things
To the edge
Reimagined
From a pledge
Create a home
Stop the world
Enjoy a meal

That splash of pink
   in the sky
persistantly
   draws my eye.
The setting sun,
   the waning day,
daylight quickly
   slides away.
A last gift
   before it goes,
the pastel mural
   the sky now shows.

   Paint on an old city wall
   First to catch your eye
   All the people you knew
   From Panama to Peru
   Met on the wall
   Colors of the city soccer team
   Used to create a colorful scene
   This continent so far from home
   Gives insight
   Why people roam

Silver blazon of Sahara sands scintillates me
Majesty of the Milky Way overwhelms me
            and they all remind me of you 
An autumn forest drenches in rain showers...  
          and the fantasy reminds me of you
A vista of multi chrome mural radiates... 
and the harmony reminds me of you....

Watching clouds as a hued mural against sky’s ceiling  enthralls
Embossing the dome with majestic stars, lustrous as fireworks;

Then rain pours … to shapeshift nimbus into a bleak tapestry.

Moral on the mural,
scripted in deep,
stoned like creep,
intoned the visitors,
they could see words,
in a language strange,
their guide gesticulated,
something and anything,
they took it for the real thing,
had they seen the moral on mural,
or just another stone,
that had with generations,
gone in a bad fall....

Acid tears of salt and grief
all bottled up to send
across the ocean to a thief
who ran away again.
  archaic eyes in charcoal gray
painted on the wall
a mural of the way you stray
especially in the fall
In the fall
of love and hope 
you strangle me again
like the dead tree with a rope
fresh knotted by a friend....

If I set my heart on fire, 
would it burn bright enough 
for you to see how much 
I want you with me?

If I used my soul to paint a mural
upon your wall,
would you see that we are meant to be?

If I took my breath
and used it to give life
to your greatest dreams,
would you believe in me?

If I gave my love to you,
would you just walk away?...

Enthusiastic about her teenage cousin’s visit that day,
Claire tried to keep herself busy in the very best way.
She painted her excitement in colors on her bedroom wall.
Before her parents returned, she painted down the hall.
When they returned they were distressed at her mural.
I think it is marvelous said her creative cousin, Pearl....
