this too is not about tint,
a has-been, mere vapor blown,
settled, wiped clean and thrown;
"i suppose you know", he says
memory is said not to be keen;
neither are plans, penned,
even if partially grown,
for despair paints,
as you know,
are opaque and spoilt, instead
of brights or spring tone,
burnt umber in rancid oil.
as you can tell, my love—
this one is not about high-art, at all.

Ah I love this. Intruiging. Plans partially grown. Hmmmm, but it's those paints I'm thinking about most. I have to love despair for its saturated hues...the depth of them untouchable, for me, in happier times. I dislike pastels. They have not yet decided if they really want to be a color, or just a shadow thereof. And perhaps the reason for my despair. I look in the mirror and still see white wash.
...ganz prima geschrieben...
herzlich, Rachel
oh, Wine and Words,
if i were you
i'd replace that darned mirror,
something's certainly wrong
with it. i'm certain.
by the way,
see what you made me do?
i had no choice
but to banish
the pastels.
so there ... :)
ah, Rachel,
thank you very much,
as always, you are gracious,
and very kind.
ohhhh my ... it looks like you did that forum challenge *grin .. you've done a wayyyy better job than i
adore this
richness spilling, even despair
has glorious tones
and undertones
maybe because what we try to control inevitably controls us? love the title of the artwork btw
this is fantastic! i hear something different every read, which has been many *heh
i first saw this last w/end and thought nooo he didn't .. then i realised, oh yes, he sooo did! LOL
er... can you tell i rather like this? lol
S
Shell, i'm speechless ...
and blushing (somewhat)
this was merely
a "copycat" effort,
aimed at making you "laugh"
(at best) ... (guess
my comedian days
are over ... ha!)
but ... now that it's here
would you mind "reading" it
in your voice? (someday?
maybe a surprise?)
lol .. you're a wonderful soul dear noxy ... and who knows, with a dollop of wine and a gentle breeze behind me ... ssshhh
That is a very cool poem and Shell's reading is great.
Shell,
and what wine
do you prefer? maybe
i can suggest one
form over here, in
California ...
what do you think?
(lots to choose from
you know)
thanks a lot Paul,
and yes, it certainly is
(Shell's reading of it,
i mean).
also, thank you
for stopping over.
omg, thank you for the fanfaring, Noxy! btw i'm very shy so right now this message is being typed awkwardly while i hide under the puter desk ...
i adore red wine but have suddenly switched to white (to enjoy a constant state of wondering what i might do next)
my taste is for fruity and friendly, but never oaked ... yuk! my wallet has to go for what it can afford at the time so slightly above pure anti-freeze usually does it lol
sooo any recommendations would be very much appreciated, dear friend
