A Painting of Words

Clouds part like

tatters cloth ------------ Thunder grumbles back

\ / \

The River of Mist - A Magpie scolds the sky

looks down above it

/ \

Sudden beauty Though I try

is glimpsed to capture it all

/ with threads of rhyme

The Silence \

is forever --------- I live in --------- I sing it yet I

\ A room of shadows forget the words

\ I have not written

\ /

The Jade river flows benieth it all

Notes

I thought I'd try my hand at something different and I remembered seeing some example of visual poetry back in school when I took a poetry course but I had never done one - so here is my attempt.
