Bouquets Of All Sorts
What turns an ordinary sentence into poetic prose or poetry? Amid the varying formats and sometimes freestyle, somewhere within the structured syntax, a seed of thought is unfurled, one hopes, in a succinct, melodic and/or symbolic and moving manner. Movingly encouraging us to express ourselves in this or any way about consequential issues is a poignant poem by Rajani called Untitled -19, the word prompt at Poets and Storytellers United that inspired my verse below, as did nature's poems, the blooms I see on my walks. As well, I've added two more paintings from the walls of the Eye Clinic in Vancouver. Creatives have their say with paint and with words.
The 1988 ethereal art gift (below) to the Eye Clinic is Sunset by Philippe Raphanel.
The compelling piece below, donated in 1987, is by Peter Winterhalter Aspell.
