Sep 2016
upon this morning's topaz blue parchment
an artist has been working with white paint*
his picture brings the eye such enjoyment
a thin smear he's applied so very faint
to the long wispy tails which are flicking
behind them the fuller ones of contrast
they have scalloped edges on their ticking
all of these abstract shapes moving fast
daubing a light pink shade on quite a few
which hover over the river's slow flow
as yet he's not finished with his view
on the east hills a hint of sun does show
quite a canvas he's composed to-day
*in the sky is his brush's vista display
an artist has been working with white paint*
his picture brings the eye such enjoyment
a thin smear he's applied so very faint
to the long wispy tails which are flicking
behind them the fuller ones of contrast
they have scalloped edges on their ticking
all of these abstract shapes moving fast
daubing a light pink shade on quite a few
which hover over the river's slow flow
as yet he's not finished with his view
on the east hills a hint of sun does show
quite a canvas he's composed to-day
*in the sky is his brush's vista display
