Painted

I am shape scraped to your easel and the breath of paint to skin;
I am red tied up in yellow, shedding orange peel veins of sin.
I am beauty to all that’s graphic— as far as eyes can see;
I’m a contour in your pocket and you’re a still frame missing me

      How are you?
      I've been busy with work, my book (which is almost finished... finally)and life in general. Once my world starts revolving in a slower, more acceptable orbit I will swing by to catch up on what I've missed.

    Twin Peaks here.

    Yes, my man, you have peaked twice here. painting reminds of Klee, poetry cleverly done, but with that sense of power.

    Glad you have this in your "Poems I'm focused on"
    and I am sorry I missed it before now.
    I love it when few lines can say so much... so well.

    Such great relationships of your concepts in this piece... the metaphor is just great with the imagery of vivid colors having us so easily picture your verses. The picture you chose for the post was perfect as well.

    I really enjoyed this piece and found the whole thing overall to be wonderful with its simplicity of "still frame" missing its contents.

    another cool write!

    Great use of a word bank. You made it seem so natural in meaning and flow. Well done, very deserving of the Gold.
    A nice deep write that says so much in it's brevity.
    Fun and enjoyable.
    Aren't we all the picture or the frame lost without the other?
    Excellent!
