If I could paint the sky just once before I die in the blue of you, the clouds would be jealous, but gloriously highlighted in wisps of pure lightest hue. If I could paint the day into the night as you, the sun, moon, and stars would all join hands and bow to the master of blue. If I could but for one moment paint Love the way you do, I'd hold my heart in my hands, and the colors on my canvass would all bleed true. If I could paint the sky it would be a portrait of you. *** reposted from a previous forum this is one of my own personal favorites May ripples of LOVE |

Kacy, I don't think I read it in another forum, but it's certainly one of my favorites I have read of yours. This is very good......  |

Thank you Ethel and Sandra. This is one I wrote not long ago after a night of reading here at Passions, listening to inspiring music, and staring at some van Gogh prints. |

 (smiles) Oh Kacy, I knew Van Gogh inspired you here, I love Van Gogh too so much, especially Starry Night, Terrese de Cafe and the Rhine River painting (by the way, did they rescue those two Van Gogh paintings yet, I hope so!  ) (big hugggsssssss) You always paint like a passionate poet, yay, I just have to add my vote here so many others can see your colors, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This is still stellar, Kacy! Oh! and look! You have a face! Now? I have to shovel my way out of a couple feet of snow. (before the blizzard arrives) Sheesh! Wish I were kidding. Ed... |

Kacy, no wonder it is your favorite, I do believe it is now mine too, as I don't remember this one at all. |

Kacy, And mine too! Fabulous and the camel hair bikini has nothing to do with getting my vote. Honest.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

What a compliment it would be... to be drawn as boundless, open and gorgeous as the sky. Whoever you've written this for should be very happy to hear this painting you've done with the palette of poetry. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

"If I could paint the sky it would be a portrait of you." I have reasons of my own for loving this as well...suffice to say that I understand!!! |

Each person comes to us as a color only we see, and they form our own tapestry, an image of our life. You've done a beautiful job with this. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

I do like this poem too. Again, I do like your use of canvas and paint in your poetic illustration... My friend, you are a true artist at heart. The image that you paint here with your heart in your hands to me is a strong strong statement of your love and devotion. Again, a very nicely penned portrait of art. -Bob |

Was wondering whether you would feel upset about your three line senryu being counted as a half page poem...and i agree with your opinion..."If I could paint" and "the Iris" are indeed more worthy submissions... i appluad you for sticking to your guns and signing to the agreement...Respect! a bump to help you along and good luck? |

You painted a picture I can clearly see But you used not a brush, just pure poetry Here's to painting a page in Passion's Book.  Tammy |

kaile thanks for you support. I like both the longer poems, but I enjoy the haikus and senryu form immensely, so it would never make me unhappy to see mine in an anthology. But I hope one of these others make it in too. Tammy, thank you so much for your wonderful reply! I sometimes use a paintbrush, but word painting is still my favorite medium. |
