Ha - Reading this makes me want to try for myself the mysteries of painting with almost no symmetry Michael - - the picture you chose as an example shows your mastery over this method of self-expression. Wonderful idea to post the work in in stages and almost a masterclass in itself.

Had to look back to this posting to see the first stages your mind made in both writing and painting - a most interesting journey for readers to make with you Michael - thanks for sharing the ways to succeed with the rhythmic skills of Chinese Brushwork

This will be good.

I have tried to do calligraphy with brushes in the Chines style and failed miserably, I\'ll stick to dip pens.

Yes trees are stationary, but have much to say if one chooses to listen. Great write Michael.

I too compulsively edit and rewrite my poems before publishing them. Makes for a better write, doesn\'t it.
This is a fine example of that, Michael. You took us on the journey home with you. Beautiful!

orchidee said:

Good write and pic Michael. Well, Santa\'s looking down - the chimney? Note my \'dash\' there. they can give longer pauses than commas, then a \'punchline\' may follow. All very technical!
I dunno poetic styles. I\'m too un-cultured. I dunno about iambic-wotsits anyway. I probably use them without knowing it! Ooh, a hyphen there too! lol.

Great set of couples! I’m particularly drawn to the first! Semblance of innocence and independence!

Love the season-appropriate drawing, Michael. I favor the fourth couplet, for the tender story it portrays.
