Paint Brushes

Brushing the surface with vibrant tempera
A portrayal composed by imagination
Hidden origins of evil, an arrow of pain
If not subtle depths of realization

Impressions note as forever arrives
Depicting your peculiar conclusion
Capturing ones whole regression
Blossoms a kaleidoscopic illusion

A broken child awaits devotion
Pulverized shards of aqueous glass
Crimson petals a flowing cascade
Paradises torment en masse alas

Eminent above the celestial sphere
Hallucinations of chrome crushes
Sapphire sparks adorn conflagration
Washed by conventional paint brushes

    Your imagery is spendid in your poem. The use of methapores is wonderful as well. I think your choice of words makes it very readable ane enjoyable for all ages. Your rhyming and meter seemed to be right on target as well.

    Very good poem. You are right, you can not win here in our contest, because you have wond another trophy. I am sorry for that, but I am proud of you for being honest.

    I am sure with poems like this, you will have quite a collection of trophys before too long. Cheryl Good Luck!

    wow, i can really feel this piece. your diction is superb... every word fits, is precise and colorful. your imagery shines but doesn't go over the top. this piece is, over-all, extremely well balanced and feels almost effortlessly wise. very professional and well crafted! -alex

    I paint. That's why maybe I somehow related something to this. Such vivid colours of your poem.

    Twisted imagery, excellent vocabulary, all combines for weird descriptiveness. Rhythm and rhyme were well executed as well. I must say the background you chose goes well with the overlying theme. Thank you for entering!
