Painting in the dark

I gather darkness at brush's end
         descend 
To deepest well, I mine a diamond  
         to silence
Pouring blue salt and golden wheat
         I paint 
Without pleats nor restraints 
My canvas glimmers as fireflies
skittering under olive-grey foggy skies
Descend to silence, I paint

  5. To use the paint as metaphor is simply perfect, and the meaning makes the form of less importance... yet it's perfect... great work.

  8. This is absolutely beautiful! You have my amazement here - to pen a poem in this form that flows. No small feat. Just beautiful.

  9. You are so touching and soft. It feels like light sadness in the deep well of your mind.

  10. This is lovely. I've not yet mastered slant or near rhymes, but you've done so here. The only part of this that tripped me up was the word "foggy" in the penultimate line. For me, it flows better without it. Peace, Linda

  12. I was trying to pinpoint one line or phrase that really drew me in but the whole poem is exquisite, Grace. You may have mastered a new form.
