That renaissance-ish artist Raphael,
Was sketching while sat in a gale,
A gust took his pad
Which made him quite sad,
As his subject was Jonahs'  great whale!

Amedeo Modigliani

stretch artist, A. Modigliani amplifies
sketching curvilinear bodies, weak eyes 
his far-fetching figures still mystify us
despite his premature death to meningitis.

I adore sketching birds and flowers
spending long hours on the details.
Colored pencils give life,
and leafy backgrounds too.
A nice calm hobby
to pass the day.
Love to show
my friends
too !
Form: Nonet

dying for a Summer day


a playground's absence,
the invisible angel
sketching burns they walk;
laughing cheeks run fallen salt;
winter is dead in the streets

Dogs of Sambalpoor

back from the trip
sketching poeming
in the land of the
ruined temples
silent non barking dogs
old tricycle travels
smiling people no watches
dogs  black red white brown
in the streets meditative
non barking i miss them

#1

fate's fickle fingers
tease the silence of a pond -
a butterfly's wings


#2

stillness in shadow
sketching a silent sunrise -
airbrushed perfection

#3

leaf and feather dance
direction of unseen wand -
woodwind symphony

Meditative Dogs of Saambalpoor

meditative dogs of
striped freedom
bark not here
neither run or pant
i dont see a tongue
hanging ever
no co;;ars or chains
dont even run
they are floating in 
slow motion
i am sketching them
vigorously
under the old oak tree
she is counting the
leaves i guess

Bamboo Sketch

Across the damp, 
white sand,


       the bamboo's noonday 
       shadow

       pencils thin, quivering 
       strokes,

       sketching artwork 
       on a cloud,

       pebbles and shells, tints 
       and hues,


gold dust on a silken, 
bridal shroud.

Portrait

There are people I once knew
Sketching unexpected stories behind the portrait I drew
I'd like to erase them for it's not necessary
And all I could say is sorry
But before I do,
I looked at it once more
I no longer see a simple portrait
but a higher form of art-- expensive; no one can afford.

Sketching Love

I have longed for you since I saw you on the stairs.
Your perpetual smile, your posture of knowledge.
Although the years gone by.
I’ve yet to meet a soul, one that I could embrace.
Yet your smile, your earthly green eyes.
It’s like I could sketch you easily.
Never to forget
Your portrait lay finished.
Now I await.

Treasures of One's Heart

Kicking up my feet, as pushing this pad unto the side while 
Gazing beyound tomorrows glass; her window within my mind ?
No need for fantasia nor fantastical dreams; when reality thus awaits
In truth, to claim love's crown; sketching her beauty's place; a mist..
About the pane; fingers tracing, warm thoughts and she afore these eyes.

Green Future

Green lush of green 
lush green is green
a leaf of language 
a branch of word 
a flagstone steps 

Heart of the earth is free, 
white flowers
Clean heart, 
fine arts literature
sketching art 
arable land 
planting gratitude

Green is nature 
cool breeze 
citing cloud 
loyal heart 
clarity of thinking 
for the future!

Echoes of Love

Let me O love, to love With my heart, throng with love When life, sketching shades of sundown Kiss me.. Once more sit side by side my bed With tears, I'll clean my eyes And trace echoes, Let me

Writing You Down To the Bones

A rush of blood to my fingertips and I am writing you, 

sketching your lips in the shapes of letters.

The commas become your eyelashes,

S becomes your hip,

T, your face,

periods become our kisses;

shallow white bones in cursive strokes.

I write you down to forget you.


This is the only way I know how to erase you.

Caught Cold

Grackles snap at the thin snow
seeking frozen worms.
Balloons of light pop in a chill sky.
A marmalade cat sneaks the hedgerow
fur low in the snow whiskers sparkling.
Hawk cries grab our attention
high up we are spotted, some targeted.
Grackles, cat, and the shadow of my coat
scatter sideways sketching frost-ghosts
on warm breaths.
