I decided to incorporate words into the
Sun Painting (that I am still working on). I gathered the words and placed them on a black foam board I bought for the frame work of the
Seahorses (they should be framed by the end of today!) The other evening I decided to group the words together in preparation to adding them to my painting and the words started revealing the most beautiful imagery. I would scoot a word here and a word there and form these stories and even mosaic pictures from the word shapes. Now I am am having a hard time finishing the sun painting because I am attached to these words. The thing with creativity is you never know where it will take you.....words for my painting became a poem of their own, the opening for lines for a novel (perhaps), and the inspiration to begin a project that has been in the dark long enough.
Strolling down the geranium bathed sidewalks
I find kindess water offered at the
corner of incarnation and fiction.
What an adventure in solace
this heirloom light
awakens.
I dance across pools
of wild cosmos
lingering under the mosaic moon
while you write suitcase poetry
from the Shangri-La gardens.
I am drawn to the line: "I dance across pools of wild cosmos"

Elizabeth~Thank you. :) I am still working on The Hedgehog. It took me until around page 76 to get into it (I wrote the page number down when I felt the click).
ReplyDeleteHow magical! I'm in love with "suitcase poetry." It's such fun to play with words this way ~ you never know what lovely surprises will reveal themselves...
ReplyDeleteJennifer~You came to mind when these two words came together. :) This was so much fun...this "play" time reminded me of Susan.
