Upon the bay

Another of my Stan Sperlak inspired poems

 

Sunset on the bay

Pastel by Stan Sperlak

 

Upon the bay

by Jack

 

Burning hot

Chilly cold

Violet skies

Wrapped in gold

Shadows deep

Cut the sea

Broken lines

Temptingly

Tinted haze

Set in blue

Fading fast

The final view

Twilight time

End of day

The setting sun

Upon the bay

Beautiful picture for a beautiful poem. ;) You create such lovely pictures with your words. (: Excellent work, I enjoyed reading this. ^_^

[Jack...]

And I enjoy having you visit. Always you make me smile.

[Holly Mason]

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Holly. You always bring a smile to my face.

Beautiful art, brilliant poetry.
Wow.
Tell me, does the painter know about your poetry? If he doesn't, he should! You make a killer team!!

Thank you for sharing this creative and clever piece with me.
(The painting is now my computer screen, and the poetry is in my library!)

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Angel. No he doesn't.

[Angel]

You should try to get in touch with him. Oh, I would love to see the result of a collaberation (is that spelled right?) between you two!! It would be breathtaking!!

[Jack...]

Perhaps someday I will do just that. Thanks again Angel.

I love the contradiction in the first two lines. Your poetry is beautiful as always. You really bring out the true beauty of colors in this. This Stan Sperlak is lucky to have you being so inspired by his artworks!

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my friend. Happy you enjoyed it.

[Kristin Lee]

Beautiful image of the bay! I love how you draw us in with vivid and fresh words that arouse our imagination. Well done! Great painting too, that was a good choice.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Kristin

This is so wonderful! It's so simple but it fits with the painting perfectly and I feel like I there, on that bay that you are describing. I believe that the simplicity itself is what makes this poem so special. Damn you, Jack, now I can't even more for my summer vacation by the seaside. :P Beautiful poem, Jack, good job! :)

[Jack...]

Thank you my sweet friend. What beach are you going to for your vacation?

[LadySoDivine]

I'll be going to an island in Greece, Corfu. :) I've been there a few summers before. I really love the place because it feels like a home to me. And that means a lot considering I'm not exactly crazy about my home town. :P So I'm very happy and excited every time that I'm supposed to go there. Will you be traveling over the summer as well or will you be staying home?

[Jack...]

I will be traveling to Key West, Florida in June for some beach time myself.

Beautiful picture and description..I also paint..in fact I love painting more than writing.
i am happy to see that you do too..Valentine

[Jack...]

Thank you Kathie, but I didn't paint the painting. It is by a New Jersey artist, Stan Sperlak...though I do paint and love it so very much.

[TL Boehm]

Beautiful. The poem and the picture both stand alone but together they are mighty fine!

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Tammy.

[Zahra]

Amazing art. And enjoyed the poem, beautiful imagery in brevity.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Zahra.
