he spun hued words
of his world of black and white
and let it soar beyond the wall
to an impossibly
bright sky
colors were his daggers
he would often draw upon
his muted soul
joy would roll down his cheek
giving a hue to his gray face
what he was he was
life sparked in his eyes
the lips radiated that aura
of bonhomie
at this crestfallen world of sham
he couldn’t say a hello
let alone hold her hand
all he could do
was pour his heart out
on the wall
once I saw
a picture of Helix Nebula
that reminded me
of his infinite heart
which was all seeing even in deep waters

I like this guy.
Our world needs colour and contrast otherwise everything becomes the same. I mean chocolate ice cream is good but if that is all you ever eat it eventually becomes very tired.
Art is often a release for all that pent up emotion and gives the ability to say things that are otherwise hard to say. Great character sketch in verse.
Oh wow. This is gorgeous:
“he couldn’t say a hello
let alone hold her hand
all he could do
was pour his heart out
on the wall”
I really enjoyed reading of his journey, amazingly creative take on the prompt. He poured his heart out on the wall..so beautiful and plausible.
Oh you did them all! Bravo! I thought about it…only a thought.
Simply wow. 🙂
Nice descriptions of each of those images. I liked the flower one about pouring one’s heart on the wall the best, but they were all nice.
Bravissimo times 5! Wonderful sketches that can be read separately with each image, or taken as a whole, give us the journey of this voice. So very well done. I like the all….and most especially the last three.
I second Lillian…. wonderfully done….great!
Lovely collection you’ve got going on here. I especially heart the second one. Perfectly complemented the picture
Love how you tied it all together to a wonderful character description… he sounds like a person I would like to be
Wow! How wonderful to read each response to all pictures ~ Due to the twist in perspective, my favorite is:
was pour his heart out
on the wall
But wanna say that this is invaluable , Thanks for taking your time to write this.
