black splashes
a glow of strength and passion
testament to love
Delightful Song by Red Dahlia 1976
passion plays
a delightful song
green glimmers
through glass cracks
the siren sings her sad song
so seductively
Both poems are stunning, Rall.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Eugi! You’ve done a wonderful job here, and I enjoyed your inclusion of another painting from Alma Thomas. She inspires me.

This was one of the first things that drew me towards this painting.🖼️
Lovely shadormas Rall, and thanks for the additional artwork, I can see why you were inspired by the rich red 💞
ReplyDeleteIt will be a wonderful step in human development when we no longer have to indicate the colour of an artist's skin. Will we ever get there? I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteFabulous poetry, Rall. Alma Thomas' art is truly stunning! ❤️
