House of Canvas

Goldfinch60



As I opened the screen

To read the poem,

A wondrous site came to my eyes.

A painting of such wonder

That I gasped out loud.

It was just a house,

A tudor house in a street,

But the art that stood before me

Took me there.

I was there,

Back in time,

Transported there by paint,

Paint on canvas.

The door to the house was open,

So in I stepped,

And wrote these words.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is dedicated to Michael Edwards, when I opened his poem 'Emotions Imprints' and saw the painting I literally gasped, I wrote these words before I read the poem. Thank you Michael.

    A fabulous tribute to my humble paintwork and I am so touched - thank you so much Andy - and a fine poem to boot.

    • Goldfinch60

      A fine write Gold. But now it's all doom and gloom. But why? Cos 'Greensleeves' fits a hymn tune. A cue for more singing from me! If that's not doom and gloom, what is?! heehee.

    • orchidee

      Anyone writing a poem about my singing? it'll be a very dark, horrific, terrifying poem, probably called 'Two Cats Fighting', lol

        The challenge is on!

        A great poem, Andy!
        Now that I’ve seen
        Michael’s painting that
        inspired your poem, I
        totally understand your
        write and your choice
        of music to enhance
        the whole experience!
        You’re both very
        gifted and talented!
        Bravissimi! 👏🏻👏🏻

        • Lorna

          I had to "run" and look at the painting right away and it is truly something as Goldfinch said! You two are wonderful soulmates!

          • Goldfinch60

              Thanks ANDY ~ The acoustic Guitar is my favourite instrument and the only one I ever really mastered. Sometimes life surprises us ! I was staying a Spooky house in Savannah while the Residents (Missionaries) were in Haiti ! The had left a number for us to ring as they had promised lunch to any Residents ! When we arrive at the house ~ about 20 minutes by car it was very impressive (one whole dividing wall was a Fish Tank ! After a lavish evening meal our host ~ who looked just like Henry VIII ~ announced he would sing to us with his LUTE ! Apparently he was a well known musician in Savannah commanding a fee of $500 + for Weddings & parties etc. He had a very Elizabethan Sound (I have heard Julian Bream @ Snape Maltings !) One of the Songs he sang was Greensleeves ~ Awesome. Thanks for the Memory ~ Yours BRIAN
