Eyes of a child

sorenbarrett



 The sky a painted ceiling
unpainted white patches remaining
Golden rays of feeling
Unfinished splotches moisture retaining

Multicolored arc brushed
from wall to wall
Rusty horizon blushed
The floor a green drop cloth shall

Flowered drops from a rainbow speckle the ground
Crumpled rumpled green cloth hills
Banging paint tin thunder sounds
Running river paint spills

Footprints lead the way 
to a masterpiece unfinished .....

    Good write SB.
    But why is that gal in the video wearing a pair of curtains?! lol.

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks Orchi curtains are to open and close just like the mind.

      • orchidee

        If that dress was a brown colour, we would say 'What's that old sack she's wearing?' lol.

        A child observes, begins to interpret, acquires language attempts to marry the two (well some do, at least0and then describe has, for me, much resonance in this poem, Soren.

        • sorenbarrett

          Thanks Dave appreciate the read and most kind words of understanding.

          • sorenbarrett

            Hey Dave you need to write some more poems I've run out of ones to review

            • Doggerel Dave

              No you haven't Soren - you just have avoided some of my more 'controversial' and /or obnoxious ones - and who can blame you?

              Anyway, as I've already told you - there's no obligation!

                  From the eyes of a child indeed, what a stunning vision of simple innocence and happiness without rules. 🌹
