Color me blank canvas

by donk2ymouth   Jun 6, 2016


I am an "artist"
I express myself by undressing myself
- my body is the canvas
color me, with your painted red lips
distinct and soft like summer rain drops
my Michaelangelo, my Da vinci
speak of true colors - write them me
in the prettiest of font, ye olde calligraphy
specifics in acrylics
spoil me with oils
cambridge alma mater
wide strokes of water-
colors
I am not an artist, but a work of art
something you'd known from the start

    Judging Comment:

    What an interesting write with an interesting outlook.
    Its poetry and artistry all molded into one to make
    a perfect picture/art. At the same time there is also
    a touch of sensual atmosphere and passion seeps
    from each line. It goes to show how passionate
    an artist is when involved with his/her work.

    with your painted red lips
    distinct and soft like summer rain drops
    my Michaelangelo, my Da vinci

    ^^This also can be viewed from a lover's point
    of view-passions play coupled with famous artist's
    names, the colors mingled with nature.

    Overall a different method of expressing poetry
    using a variety of tools which involves creating an
    art...hope that made sense.
