paint me a poem (try 2) (Free verse) by nentwined
paint me a picture with countable stanzas, colors that rhyme directly and slant, paint me a plot that stands up for itself, or a moment in time inherently deep; paint me the lines that twist their own language, the form a bit playful, but in essence quite deep; paint me a picture that explains its own being, then takes that same being, and twists it around. paint me a poem that's naked when clothed, with innocent yang and experienced yin, make it sing loudly the chords of the soul and paint it again, and again, and again.

Up the ladder: A heart without keys
Down the ladder: glimpses

Sorry nen, this feels forced. Or maybe I'm a simpleton.

Revisiting to try a new thing. Reading it out, I stumbled in a few places. Also adjusting for timing... Do I edit this into oblivion or make a v3 that is its own thing?

paint me a picture with countable stanzas,
colors that rhyme directly and slant,
paint me the lines that twist their own language,
that form a new form when rendered as chant,
paint me a picture that makes its own being,
make it sing loudly the chords of the soul
and paint it again, and again, and again.

an epiphimal transformation, and I don't agree that it feels forced.

The cadence is flawless and that should erase any perceived awkwardness.

Granted, the perspective is a bit... whats the word? 'Commanding'? 'Pretentious' is too strong - whatever; it works fine to my ear.

Rock on.

thanks man. My confidence waxes and wanes faster than the sun and moon in their chase.

(ok, so why wasn't THAT in my bag six hundred poems ago)?

WOO-HOO! *clap *clap...take a bow! (Except...don't capitalizations count for anything? If you used punctuation, then why not capital letters?) Gave you a nine anyway....I don't give 10's...at least not yet!
