Rough Sketched & True
As compelling
To an artist’s eye
As moist dry stone
Walls in autumn
Lichen crowned
Green tinged and
Majestic browns
The colour of near
Day old leverets
Yet nowhere near
As wise
Resting rock still
Pon flayed barley
While in the very
Distant distance
Those same artist
Eyes fix upon
A flock of startled
Yellowhammer
As they did rise from
Berried hedgerows
Boughed into the sky
As pollen might
From rough scythed
Piss the beds
Indeed a sightly sight
And true
A fledgling morn
The artist
Does indeed delight
And sets his easel down
Rough sketch complete

Loud cheers for this lyrical walk around countryside with an artistic eye for what is delightful. An inspiring read Neville.
Thank you so much Fay, you are more than appreciated, I can tell ya.. Oh' and here's to wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year and All Good Things,
Your literary friend,
Neville
A fine write Neville. We should put the dandelion and burdock down then!
thank you sir... I shall leave that up to you... we used to add a pint of the juice to the New Years Eve party punch and stand well clear..... Happy New Year
And I thought it was because their flowers were bright yellow!
I never liked the term though.
thank you for the visit anyway & regardless
Oh I didn't mean I didn't like your poem.
I liked the poem.
I like the way it scratched a fleeting pleasing vision in my empty head.
then I shall thank you again
Whether it becomes a completed painting or not it will leave a vision in my eyes. A well drawn scene, painted with the poet's brush. Words of brilliant color describe the artist's eye. A delightful read. - Phil A.
Many thank you's sir, much appreciated.... Neville
From that sketch a wonderful painting will emerge to complement your words.
How very kind of you Goldfinch60... and a Happy New Year to you and yours... Neville
