Portraits

My Quote :

"Artists spread the colours of the world, Poets spread the love around it"

Poem inspired by it:

Painting Portraits (Brush vs Pen)

[Brush]
Snapshots capturing a moment in time
Carefully composed and designed
To attract and bewilder the eye
Mystical illusions created
From a vast range of hues

[Pen]
Intricate details aptly described
As delicately as brush strokes
So that images dance vividly inside one's head
By duly considered words
To evoke emotion and the perceptive mind

[United]
So keep those creative juices flowing
From palette to canvas
I'll keep on scribing in my notebook
Until I no longer draw breath
And together we'll paint portraits
Of love for the world.

    ...WOW. This was absolutely amazing. Just, everything. Your choice of words and the way you did the "brush, pen, united"... This was simply beautiful. My favorite lines were "So that images dance vividly inside one's head/By duly considered words/To evoke emotion and the perceptive mind" because your poem itself did that! Wonderful job here.

    This is an excellent piece, and its imagery is rich and vivid. Painter and poet both are artists, each forming an impression of the world through his/her own eyes.
