“A bright corner where care melted old scars.”
Fay - don’t normally go for love poetry (apologising again), but here I can’t do better than Neville above so I won’t try.

You write/say it just as I and many others know it can be .. a near perfect capturing of the very essence that underpins and surrounds the ecstasy that is true love ...................... x

For a few coppers the painter intently listened, for his craft was hired not to paint the reality but what the patron visioned, that your words have so hauntingly penned for us all to immensely enjoy.

For me, I get to read something most people only feel. It\'s the telling of obsession and glamorous happiness. He has to see the beauty he sees in his mind on his wall because he has so much happiness from only her existence. The knowing of the fact that love exists and he gets to hold it. A great job and such a great poem!!

Sometimes the patron or artist appears in a small corner of the painting, even maybe with his/her little dog!

Brings back that scene from Girl With the Pearl Earring wherein the patron was insistent upon Vermeer as to how the commissioned painting should result. The feel captured in this poem is equally if not more explosive and creates that cognitive tension as to whom the creative onus issues from - the patron/Muse (however contrived that may seem) or the artist/scribe? Good going Fay!

I believe (no, not believe – am certain) you are right, Fay. I like galleries and have visited some big ‘uns. Really enjoy the atmosphere as well as some of the works. But as I shuffle through rooms full of notables high on one of the past’s social heaps towards something interesting, your truth is pretty evident. Possibly the only saving grace is that it would be one of the best clues as to bygone attire of the rich and %@&#* prior to the advent of photography.
Your well structured piece has nailed it nicely.

This was the truth of those times, no doubt. Artists weren\'t free to express themselves, especially on \"commissioned\" portraits. I think you\'ve described the quandary an artist would be in when doing so. A lovely look back at times of yore. _ Phil A,

I can imagine the smile that must have crossed the artist\'s lips as he listened to the patron\'s instructions. Your description dear Fay, I think is spot on. Truly enjoyed!

Oh that the day would arise upon these steps upon the which Cornwall\'s skies and seas border, her moors and promontories beckon yet again with the reading of this poem. From my end, my father in law gifted me before he passed, a golden chain made from his private mining licence in the Atacama. Splendid read. Thanks for sharing.

I love history come to life through clever verse. You take me to distant place and time with the imagery and vernacular of this piece. It is the first time I\'ve seen it and I love it.

Britain\'s mining history sure is a vast one. The tin mines went under the sea, I recall, so definitely a perilous trade. It is hard to visualise a cage taking you up to a mile underground to start your work. Dig the language.

I distinctly recall this when presumably hot off the press & enjoyed just now no less than when first encountered .. Did I ever mention my maternal Great Grandfather was the Captain of a Kernow Mine .. indeed I am in possession of an inherited heirloom comprised entirely of the very last silver extracted from it ... Priceless of course .. x
