Colors of After
A Poem by
jacob erin-cilberto
Colors
of After
placid
pose
a sort
of smile
cheeks
blushed with thoughts
of a
lover
yesterday's
encounter
today's
reconnoiter
she
sips her coffee
turns
a little bit more to the right
the
artist brushes her onto his canvass
was he
the one?

Not the one; sadly not the hun.
This says much in the few. I hope at least he kept the painting; might be worth something of value.
Excellent brevity.

Being an Artist of the "After Glow" ... cheeks blushed with thoughts of yesterday's encounter... reminds me of the Movie "Love in the Afternoon" with Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn... a Classic Romance. gently, Pat

I like how you present the poem as an open-ended story. The allegories sewn into this are also intriguing, with the short yet detailed description of the persons & events. Maybe he was the one. That's what I like to think, anyway. ;)

Was he the one?
The colours of after are looking pretty rosy J. I can picture a scenario of two here brought together again.
the artist brushes her onto his canvass - what a perfect line that is. Beautiful brevity.
