LOVERS IN THE POET'S GARDEN

This canvas, as wide as Kansas A stark white silent void,Symbolic of our lives Working as a brick In a paintbrush sort of world. Like Van Gogh, Some mysterious artist, With a gift for expressing lifeBegins our romance in paint.  On the palette he mixes flowering colors As we become undefined and indefinite In a rainbow of swirling abstract images, A comfortable tornado of contrasting hues, Brilliant colors splashed, Like low-pitched waters, Accenting our uncontrollable passion and emotions.  With the fevered and dancing strokes Similar to those of Starry Night, We are captured on the canvas With feelings exposed and no secrets to be concealed.  All choatic elements blending together In the artist's seemingly thoughtful strokes,  Making it his greatest masterpiece.

painting with words

loved it! blue, you gave me a picture of a good blk light painting! i love painting with blk lite paints. mostly do monsters with wide mouths full of teeth, eyes of red or yellow. my visitng nurse when i was recovering from pnuemonia, said i had dark-side. i guess i do. i am ready to start new series of paintings. wish could find a way to put them on line to you guys. oh well, anyways you have created some very vivid scenes for me with your words. i guess you don't always need paint and canvas to paint a picture for ppl.great stuff! gee
