artist

if i promise to write
the words you paint,
will you also
give color to my verse?
when i walk on the journey,
your capture of light
pulls me from my blindness.
please free my pen
from monotone ink,
onto the canvas
breathe life.

You have touched me with your words but I sense a great saddness in you. Writting a poem of joy could release your spirit.

I have enjoyed finding your words. Keep writting.

I like this - very well written. My favorite lines are "please free my pen from monotone ink, onto the canvas breathe life." You write better poems than I do.

Thanks for visiting my blog

I'm curious why your header graphic is so huge - it actually bleeds off the page - is this how you intended?

lissa...thank you so much. i don't think i write better than you or another...i just write what is given to me at tha moment, as do you. and they are all good!

the header was initially an accident (new blogger alert!), but i have decided to keep it for awhile...i like the detail
