Think you what of ......... muse?

Question

Singing she fills the air,

a sweet aria

so softly whistfull

it makes his palms sweat,

his voice thicken.

He is in the land of shades now

offering his life to bring alive

his own longing.

He hurls a single purple cloud

against the sky,

Hovering at the border of his own identity

he is painting words and notes,

spreading music.

When the he is finished

the contour of a final perfect phrase

rests on the stone easel beside her hip.

A small finger of bluelight flickers,

ignites on his tangerine... Van Gogh.

Answer 1

This is lovely.

easy on the eyes

without harsh noises  

I wonder if Van Gogh

was gifted with Synaesthesia

Answer 2

I definitely saw the painting that you were writing about!  Excellent. Try adding "so" after sweat to see if it helps meter.  I would also suggest "thickens"  Overall, this is a keeper.  My compliments.

Answer 3

Lovely then, lovely now, Kudos

When Josh Groban sings, "Starry Starry Night" my eyes mist.

Answer 4

Wistful!

This is going to be a good day.  I've just read Todd's poem, and now this.  Gosh, this is sooooooooo good! Loved it.

It reads beautifully, and each line shows the care to which you have gone to get everything just right.

What else can I say?  I go to pick a particularly good line, but find that they all qualify.  ....his voice thickens.....land of shades....hurls a single purple cloud....hovering at the border of his own identity.....small finger etc.  Perfect.  I love this. Thanks for helping to make my day.

Answer 5

"Hi!"

I can't say much for the artist. but your poem was great.at least it is somewhat educational and I learned a little about Van Gogh.

Cheers. : )
