I think you\'re very blessed to be able to show your unique view into the world by word and paint. We are artists of words but you are an artist by both. So blessed. Love this. You are right about artists seeing the world more clearly. More detailed. I\'ve noticed it before but you\'ve expressed it in your unique way. Love it.

The EYES of an ARTIST
The EARS of a COMPOSER
The NOSE of a PERFUMER
The VOICE of a Bel Canto SINGER
The MIND of a PROFESSOR
The DOUBLE-MIND of a POLITICIAN
The TOUCH of a LOVER !
You are an ARTIST Michael so see how you see
But promise to convey it to canvas then to MPS
So we can all enjoy it TOO ~ BRIAN
Thanks love the POEM & the PINK Fragaria

Turner comes to my minds eye.So much emotion in his moody seascapes. Colour of the wind indeed! I can almost feel it on my face.

That boat with no oars will find its way back! No doubt!
...and The Artist will color that wind which he saw soaring!
Michael,
A great verse accompanied by a great pic! Super!

The flow of words in this brings such a lifeless place to life. You\'ve done well my friend. I quite enjoyed this.

WORDS
SLR said:
Great message about the power and importance of words. I\'m a little obsessed about wanting to use JUST the EXACT word for every occasion. It\'s SO frustrating when I can\'t remember a particular word when I need it.

Tidal waves of deep despair. Great line, you can feel the pain here. Swept away with it. Great piece of work! Thank you for sharing it and the pic.

I really like the third and fourth lines. Weeping willows have always been a favorite of mine so I love how you worked them in. Very vivid pictures you paint for the mind. Great piece!

This is to encourage you. At an art show, two dogs made of materials were so life-like that a real dog started barking at them. They were allowed in the marquee on leads. Everyone laughed!

Erm, I\'m not lifeless on this Ascension Day. I\'m gonna defy gravity and take off to the clouds! I shall grow some wings first and be full of life!

More lifeless a land cannot be than this eerie verse paints dear Michael
A haunt of a read which pulls out all the stops on the abstract work above it..

Laura🌻 said:
Michael,
An intriguing poem!
As I read the title and the first three lines, I immediately envisioned the landscape in one of Mel Gibson’s Mad Max movies! I stopped reading and looked at the abstract! It didn’t match the landscape I was thinking of. As I continued reading, my envisioned Mad Max landscape changed to something totally different! After I finished reading the poem (twice), I understood the relationship of the abstract to the poem!
Powerful closing to your excellent poem...
“...from the path now scarcely found
which weaves its way to higher ground.”
An awesome read!

WOW MIKE ~ SCARY ~ You don\'t know just how appropriate your abstract is to the POEM ! It depicts \"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Revelations chapter 6) !\"
The WHITE HORSE represents the ANTICHRIST ~ The RED HORSE is WAR ~ The BLACK HORSE is FAMINE and the GREEN HORSE is DEATH ! The Book of Revelation reads like SF but it is a Prophecy of the End Times and very scary as is your POEM !
A LIFELESS LAND (2100 & Beyond ?)
Stagnant ~ lifeless ~ weeping & dank !
No BIRDS ~ no (animal or insect sounds)
Only H. Sapiens retreating ~ seeking
Seeking for Higher Ground ~ AWESOME !
Thanks for scaring & sharing ! The reason I saw the FOUR HORSEMEN in the abstract is because I am preparing a Poem on them and was looking at appropriate paintings so I had that image in my mind ! I apologise for \"spiritualising\" your intriguing abstract and enigmatic poem ~ but that is how they spoke to me ~ OK ~ Yours Father BRIAN !
Please check SUMMER LOVIN\' Thanks B.
MIKE ~ Look closely at your abstract L to R
and you will clearly see ~ as I did ~
GREEN HORSE ~ BLACK HORSE ~ RED HORSE
Then very clearly WHITE HORSE ~ uncanny !
Also the RAVEN (Left) read to prey on the DEAD !

An eerie landscape with the perfect picture to go with it....... we have \"pocket\" areas like this where there may have been a fire and half-burned dead trees stand in swampy bits with buzzards living in them........ right in the heart of beautiful rolling green ...... they are haunted places I think.

dusk arising said:
Hmm, brought to mind the mother in laws garden. Only difference was, in her garden you could hear faint anguised wailing from a chasm which was her direct communication link with Hades.
I looked up from my screen and once again the sun was shining through my window. I shuddered at your melancholy words having taken me to so barren a place.

A fine write Michael. I was not on desolate land, but was in the middle of nowhere, on country walks, where some tracks ran out at times - not well-trodden enough! Then extra tracks which were not on a map. Ahh, the ideal place to consign my singing to!
