dr_con Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We have conversations most often magic they show me their spell declaiming Not What I Wanted O no no hard not to point out because of Painting Poetry because of Snow falling in everywhich direction the assertion of nonreplication theories of color We are possible of course that doesn’t mean it’s good by any ---- standard or measure like wishing iced perspiration adhering to red/yellow/brown leaves to invert or frankly reverse become greener and greener eternal kinetic buds always and only about to BURST by walking away from the World As It Is We obscure imperfection’s enchantments ignore the dreamless dream it requires us to Try and Do again and again: O no no no.

Tinker Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Juris, This poem is very visual and yet I felt it rather than saw it. The wash of color seeps deep into the fabric of your thoughts. I loved it, it is my new favorite of yours. Interesting to me that I just posted a prompt in the Daily Poem section of the Playground, a challenge to write a poem using color in some way. I've seen similar prompts in the past and responded with simple "violets are blue" kind of writing. But, this poem truly exemplifies what I think the prompt aspires to inspire. So good! Very cool that you included a painting, your painting. When I first saw it, not knowing your were the artist, I thought, this was the inspiration for the poem. Now that I know it is yours, I wonder which came first, the chicken or the egg? ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Judi -- Many Thanks, hope you don't mind if I flood the board, in the midst of some serious experimentation! 😉 The answer to your question is both and neither. I painted the painting with a memory of something I almost saw, and then sat with the painting and composed the poem BUT Liberation Blues was the first attempt at getting at that something BUT I entered it into a new collection I'm putting together called: Gate (less;-).

Guest Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 By the way dr con what is the painting supposed to be? I know I should be commenting on the poem though but still i just wanted to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Whatever (you) would like it to be;-) The title is Gate(less) and I plan to do probably a few more versions. Really its more of an emotion or a mood than an object or a thing or as Creely said when asked if There was a Man was about John the Baptist: "I don't know I just wrote the poem." 😉 TY!

tonyv Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 This poem with its concomitant painting has got to be one of the best expressions ever in favor of artistic license ... which I happen to love. I love that you've included the painting; it doesn't replace the poem, but it enhances it the way album artwork does when it come to our music media experience.
