Imaginary portraits line the walls stretched over time
The renderings of one more skilled I see in my minds' eye
Within their midst hang landscapes shaded in such subtle hues
Returned now to the gallery of one Sir Rulian Blue.

Gone now are those crude images, a more discerning eye
Has captured vital elements of Earth, and wind, and sky
Then bound them to the canvas with a masters' skillful stroke
The years between us fall away as one might shed a cloak.

For he and I are much the same, though playing different parts
As seekers both we strive to find that which improves our art
A worthy quest for any man, though one which never ends
Well met are we Sir Rulian Blue, I'm proud to call you "friend".

You serve as inspiration, guiding me to do my best
Now, aren't you glad that's over and you got this off your chest?

I enjoyed your sonnet. Excellent meter, and fine images.

Very well done, Doc.

Well, we have a ballad and a sonnet. How would Sir Rulian Blue look in a villanelle??

Balladeer,
Thank you m'friend. Lol, maybe if I'm still around in another 8 years( those things tend to give me a headache ).
