Cast Iron Canvaspaint me on a cast iron canvas shadows shown behind my eyes graphite glimpses ever growing pastel prison telling lies see into this posing person tangled knots within the twine covered soft in silk's seduction lover lost to life's unwind |

Interesting concept ... to whose satisfaction do we paint the picture Perhaps if we look a little deeper ...  excellent poem |

Claire... this poem has such a beautiful, textured feel. I really enjoyed reading it, and do more!!!!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Brian, and as always, your words are just so kind. Thank you. Rex, exactly. So often the "painting" can be misleading, until the "artist" sees with knowing eyes what lies below the surface. Thank you for reading this and "getting" it. Miss Marge, I am not surprised in the least that you noticed and understood the contrast. Thank you, my friend. Sunny, I am glad to know that you found something in this piece to enjoy. Thank you so much for letting me know. Michael, as always, you know I appreciate your support. Thank you, my friend. Sven, thank you. I'm glad you liked this... Dee, thank you very much, and have I welcomed you to Passions? We're glad to have you! Mark, your rose coloured glasses would make a world of difference, I'm sure...thanks for the offer! Eloise, for taking time to read and then letting me know what you thought, I thank you very much, and am glad that you found it enjoyable. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Heather, if the poet is able to move the reader in some way, then the poetic goal has been met. Thank you for affording me this satisfaction, my friend. Krista, your note is very kind. I read your "list" in the Alley, and am very humbled by what you wrote...thank you so much for being so supportive, dear. You are indeed a treasured one. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
