The artists eye can see so many colours that come to life on the canvas.

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

Fine lanturnes there. I won\'t read any poems outdoors on a sunny day then, if they\'re going to fade away!

WORDS

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..

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!

Great couplets and a great pic! I’ve never seen that color poppies before...only the red variety in my grandmother’s wheat fields in Italy when I was very young and later in life on men’s jacket’s lapel!

Your garden pictures are poems in themselves! And I adore the silver in the garden peeking out..........not sure I understand the second couplet - if they fade in life, why soonest in death?
