Pretty.

Goldfinch60



What is it about it?

It is another jigsaw,

So enjoyable to do.

But that picture

Emerging before me

Draws me into it,

It captivates me.

The mind of the artist

Pulls me,

Pulls me into her world,

Her world of fantasy

Which intrigues me.

The puzzle is completed

Only to leave behind

That puzzle in my soul.

What is it about this picture?

This picture that has captivated me,

Captivated me into the mind,

The mind of the artist.

    A fine write Gold. I would want to keep jigsaws - mount them, etc - all that work dismantled in a few seconds, having spent hours on it.

    • Goldfinch60

      I am going to mount this one, it will be the first one I have mounted.

      • orchidee

        That means we'll never do that particular jigsaw again, unless we dis-mount it. Sounds like a horse! But here's plenty more jigsaws to do.

        the feeling of being captivated you describe so well is a relatively familiar sensation I have experienced myself on a few occasions....it is otherwise a most difficult sensation to convey or explain methinks... poets do it best, maybe ..... Neville

          Thank you Neville, yes it happens so often, especially with music and art in my case, it was the art within the jigsaw that captivated me, although I did enjoy doing the jigsaw.

          • Neville

            as long as you enjoy it, keep doing it, I say..... Neville

            Were you as captivated by the picture on the puzzle box?

            • Goldfinch60

              Not quite, I thought it would be an interesting puzzle to do but I was captivated as I was doing it.

              Hi Goldfinch60,

              An excellent poem.

              I must say too what a beautiful picture too. Good luck with completing this jigsaw.

              Keep writing Fine B

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you FineB, it is completed and this one I am going to mount and put on a wall in the house.

                Yes, from time to time, like Alice, we all want to escape and imagine being a part of your beautiful jigsaw, and then have you vocalize - if only the painting was without the intrusion, HA!

                I like the way you draw us in with your description. You need an artistic sense to allow yourself to be drawn in. Keep looking

                Phil
