Redzone's Muse

...one night I couldn't write and my Muse came...

REDZONE’S MUSE

Her colors created myths

out of inner city décor

and whispered sounds

of sighs as she walked by,

words in hand

ever ready to splash them on

fast moving trains,

tenement walls,

anywhere her strokes

could be seen by all.

At times her fragments

of artistic displays

would shower down

like summer rain

giving life to small flowers

growing in side walk cracks

that many would amaze at.

Yet also they reflected

the realities, absurdities,

inequalities of life 

and in ways that

regular folks saw

as their own

and would say, “Yeah”,

“I know that’s right.”

~~~

Bold, harsh flavors

of rainbow hues

told the truth

of city life

as she honored

her people with pride,

both at her word arrangements

and the veracity of yellows,

burnt sunset orange

and other assorted wild pigments

reflecting her vivid imagination.

If you could describe her honestly,

in common terms,

the colors of crazy jazz

would come to mind;

its dissonant free style

tightly wound into

beating nebulae and

the explosion of gas giants.

~~~

Her colors created myths

out of inner city décor

and our human nature

to explore endless universes

on a lilac summer night.

Wow … you have quite the muse. Loved this vibrant write:)

[redzone]

Pryde, glad you stopped by, I was expecting Ms Blue Smurfette to come and demand "green ham and eggs" if I gave up my muse... but since your muse is wordalicious, I have no fears and my muse says HI and thanks for the compliment... as for Sam, I sure hope she left him his ham cause Smurfette seemed mighty hungry the other day... All this aside, thanks Pryde for your comment

You have a lovely muse my friend.
At times her fragments
of artistic displays
would shower down
like summer rain
giving life to small flowers
growing in side walk cracks
that many would amaze at.
Absolutely stunning!

I adore your muse & you, can't say enough...simply luverly, first word to last, love the music, too bad he's gone....'once in a lullaby', sums up your poetry. Sweet Curt! xo

100 dreams come true

[redzone]

thanks luverly Frieda, my muse says she thinks you are sweet, beautiful and that I must behave myself and I have a strong suspicion that she visits you much more often than me these days... I always love it when you hang out around here, especially when you say such nice things.. ;0)ox

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Wow that is the kind of muse any artist prayed for and would be lucky to have.

[redzone]

This poem is pure beauty.
Oh to have such a muse.

[redzone]

you got to see and hear him.. that is so great Ance.. I am Hawaiian "punched" that you like this poem.. er.. well something like that... ;0)

[Matching Socks]

I do, he "IZ" quite "big" in Hawaii. :-)

[redzone]

Yes, VERY big.. it IZ the reason he died so young.... "where troubles melt like lemon drops"... sorry Ance, singing to the song as I write this to you...

[Matching Socks]

Yes, sad that he died so so young. :(
Now I'm singing it too. Contagious!!
