Swirls of color intertwine

A kaleidoscope in my mind

Paintings of a different kind

 

Brush strokes on canvas assemble

Within it is a symbol

Images that make me tremble

 

Shadows and dark forms

Hellish creatures and terrible storms

Should I stop?I am torn.

 

Out it comes,no stopping now

My hands just move,I don’t know how

A will of their own,to them I must bow

 

Dissappearing when completed

My memory of the image deleted

Only the knowledge of the painting,and that my will was defeated

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

This was close to my

This was close to my reaction to Jackson Pollacks “Blue Poles”. It excites and enthralls me every time I see it. You can’t see the original uless you come to Australia, we paid $5 million for it and it is now worth $30 mill
I wish I could paint.
Loved your poem

your poem

How wonderfully you speak of painting , that is one art form I have a difficult time with but they say that when one has the ability of one of the arts they have more and you have proven this by your writing
very nicely written

Art is art

Whether brush and canvas or paper and pen, we create strong, vivid images. I like the darker sides of this piece. You write them well.
