Rough Sketched & True

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 ..

Wow...what a feeling of...contentment?? I don't know but I can picture an old fashioned artist out in nature as I read this...contemplating and doing what he is compelled to do. But more than.that...it us as if you have shown us what he has painted with the words you have written. I 'see' what he has painted...I 'see' what he is feeling and I 'see' what he is seeing
no mean feat for a short poem to achieve.
Timeless and beautiful x

Wonderful to read Neville. You painted with words and I enjoyed the build up of the imagery through the wonderment of natures lands. This is a poetically charged painting, a pretty masterpiece with words

You may never know just how much those words of yours up there mean to this old scribbler, down here Gwen ..

Suffice to say for now though at least, one helluva lot my friend :) x
