If Only The Paintbrush Could Talk

Colors flew from my brain & suicided

onto the fresh canvas...

( Clean - Naked - Ready to be used )

so I eagerly transformed it

into an Expression

Of life

& feeling & wonder

...love...

Swirling hues of heartache

contrasted by a silver lining of hope,

All poised high upon a wall...
Destined for admiration

By inquisitive minds,

but only I can sing

Its true song.

Poetry.... Is the answer the the riddle. Youve done a very fine job of letting the brush speak. I very much enjoy the movement of this poem. I do like the color. Its rolls like a wave. And i'm also curious to see it in black and white... it might have some hidden beauty revealed, who knows. Such a vivid opening line, imaginative, one that easily invites my own to create an image of my own thoughts leaping to their death upon the page or canvas... If I find admiration along the way, then icing on the cake. Inquisitive minds... if im lucky. And if none of any of them worthy.... it matters not, for as you say... Only I can sing its(my) true song. Very nice to read. Thank you Uneek.

I don't usually like all these different color'd fonts in poetry, but it works here, and gives your sentiment extra oomph, like the concept here, well said Uneek.

Frieda, Thanks for reading! And commenting!! Im not sure what made me decide to use color, as I usually do not care for it either, however...like you said... I think it worked well with this one! Thanks again darling ;)

Sometimes we have to listen to the muse, and he/she is right on! My pleasure, I love the sentiment of only you can sing your song. ;-)
