Draw

 

I stepped out onto the canvas

 on this last day of April,

as the drones of water

saturated the ground

creating mounds of chocolate

colored soil, rich for the taking

but better to use as the floor

in this still of a image that smears

across an unsmooth surface

where a war with the sun

fights to emerge the victor.

 

The grayness has warped

my senses and I watch the droplets

of translucent water

create many shades of colors

that scooted across as images

of trees and plants sprouting,

awaiting for some form of clarity

that would master the essences

of spontaneous magic

that only masteries could unveil.

 

Shades of green and red,

fire from the soil below

as the yellow blaze, kisses the sky,

connecting with the world below

and in the heat of passion,

the embrace of passive love

comes a foyer of colors

that shout off at the canvas

as the sparks of life arcs

into creation

leading into the month of May

At first I took every thing literal in this poem and became very confused, BUt then I realized, this isn't some science fiction type poem. It's a description of nature, spring. And there it was, everything made sense. Lol. I mean, my favorite part was when it speaks of the drops of water creating so many different colors. Beautiful imagery. Good job. This is the first piece I've read from you so I hope they're all this ingenious.

I love spring. This piece makes me love it even more. :) The images in this poem are clear, vivid, and alive. The picture pops write off the screen. ^_^ And even better, it was a very tranquil, calm poem. It made me relax as I was reading. Great job Ralphy, as always.
