From the Palette of Life With the palette of my life And in an angry phase of youth I made the canvas my midwife Stormed and raged to paint the truth I tore into the heart of things Charged into the windmills fan Clawed at them with thoughtless flings That bordered on the manic man I dug into the root of prime Dissected down to nothingness Sifted through the sands of time Outraged and in a ruthlessness And with a palette knife I slashed Covered it with hews of mourn Pestle it into a mash And waited for the coming dawn. And now it hangs obscurity Upon my wall a mystery |

And now it hangs obscurity Upon my wall a mystery and something wonderfully intense, makes it all worthwhile.... Top of the morning to ya, and how are we today? Hope the sun is shining where you are...leaving many blessings upon you and yours. |

"I dug into the root of prime Dissected down to nothingness Sifted through the sands of time Outraged and in a ruthlessness And with a palette knife I slashed Covered it with hews of mourn Pestle it into a mash And waited for the coming dawn." Nothing like making a mess of things before it's even daylight. Morning Sy...  |

Oh, I do like this poem...:-) My goodness, Seymore how you have waxed Quixotic in this poem... "I tore into the heart of things Charged into the windmills fan Clawed at them with thoughtless flings That bordered on the manic man" Charging headlong into windmills, perhaps to impress a would be princess. But instead of winning Dolcinea as a prize, you got a well won painting, to hang on the wall. "And with a palette knife I slashed Covered it with hews of mourn Pestle it into a mash And waited for the coming dawn." "And now it hangs obscurity Upon my wall a mystery" Enjoyed the read...ice |

I dug into the root of prime Dissected down to nothingness Sifted through the sands of time Outraged and in a ruthlessness ~*~ I should take you to see the play in our town, "Proof" by David Auburn... you'd be prime for understanding the complexities of life that it portrayed. Well done, Sy! |

Oh my Sy! My thoughts on this one are flying all over the place. It reminds me of the dreams I try to remember from last night and I can't quite get them straight.. But, if I were able to hang them on the wall.. I would be able to see it quite plainly! Hope you have a wonderful day! ~Morning hugs and a fresh pot of tea, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

You stormed and raged to paint the truth you are so passionate in words, that I can just imagine what your colors might show! Buongiorno Maestro! Love, Margherita  |

Okay Setmour that did it! No one man should be able to write this well! Damn this is good and I am really jealous. (Wink!) Okay...maybe not that jealous. Wow the opening stanza is just so powerful. The imagery is so incredibly intense. You have outdone even yourself today! Bravo! Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Sy....Sometimes when I write, a part of me takes over that is unfamiliar, and when I read what she wrote, I wonder where it came from. Your painting came from that deep artist place where all kinds of muses live, I think. I wish it hung on my wall! |
