Off the Wall

The painting jumped; it jumped at me. Surprised, I rose to view. The heart it beat; it’s gold, it’s red. I blink the wings that stretch. Pull down the sky; the moon outstretch: For angel’s mine to fetch. Subtle the head, did nod in fact. The faceless nice was pink. The halo sun, a whole-some note; Resounds the shining frame. The subtlety won’t fall for fame. A slight reflective flame. Pure white, the angel within view. See-through; the bluest sky. Off shoulders arc the pomp. Serenade of wild hues. Quickened in place; It’s quite a ruse. Silent of toodeloos.

So glad! We have a couple paintings that inspire my writing! :) We poets can dream up anything and everything we see or imagine pops into view in our poetry. God bless!

Dear Kim, there is so much to love about this expressive and impressive work of wonder. "The painting jumped; it jumped at me" - what a great opening line! Loved every playful line, the amazing imagery, wordplay, personification, effective rhymes and the clever title too. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Wow, this is very interesting- had me line for line, I loved how the painting seemed to have its own personality, despite about what was expected of it. Wonderful writing, Kim- <3
