twin hues of
green and blue
light and pain
align in the portrait she paints,
a lovely bitter face.
And she wonders....
is it a symptom of madness
to find such beauty swirling
around all that
sadness?

Sara,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem to match the painting. No, it is not madness. Beauty simply is.

Very powerful image. You words focus on one emotion, not madness.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem and painting. Blues and greens are by far my favourite colours. Madness perhaps, or just that beauty is found in all kinds of things even in sadness.
ReplyDeletewowi....I adore this poem:)
ReplyDeleteI must say, that is the best painting I've seen of all entrants this week.
ReplyDeleteThe poem's structure goes well with the image and has suitable depth. Good write.
No, not madness. Beauty I thinks seeks out sadness, in other words, it is more evident in it than in other states of mind. Nice poem.
ReplyDeletethis image is powerful and appealing..your words are as well..beauty and maddness swirling around the sadness..sounds sane to me..lovely, thanks for the visit..m
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and powerful. Not madness at all. Love the painting too.
ReplyDeletebrilliant.... spell binding... i like hte painting but your poem is self contained. it does not need the visual element to convey its profound madness... this is so beautiful.. so simple.. like water and air .. .
ReplyDeletesadness and beauty just are together so often, not madness at all.
ReplyDeletethe picture and poem is wonderful work!
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful and so is the painting... i love the different expressions. I think beauty and pain for some people may cross eachother among a life of madness, it reminds me of "What can you think about in the face of this kind of beauty, I get scared I know that" D.D
ReplyDeleteWhat a positively wonderful and striking image. I just love teh bluey green colours, such thoughtful words accompanying the image too.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Sara!:-)
ReplyDeleteThis photo evoked such different ideas for us both. I like your poem much better. I think the world is nothing but madness. We all love and hate and cry too hard, but there is no cure. Thanks for sharing this one.
