Cylinders of motion
carry the side saddler to the ramp
across shiny slick rectangles,
past the still sfumato of bars and branches

Carol - I had to look up sfumato (Sfumato is a term used by Leonardo da Vinci to refer to a painting technique which overlays translucent layers of color to create perceptions of depth, volume and form.)
If I can find a good photo, I'm going to do this one.
I hope you find a photo that inspires you, Barbara.
Thanks for dropping by. This sounds interesting. Will try to look for a photo but I'm not too sure about writing a poem. I am not good at it.
Happy Wednesday!
That makes my head spin! I can't figure out how some of us it clicks for and some of us (like me) it doesn't. I failed miserably at creative writing in school...but it didn't stop me from writing!
Carol I too had to look up sfumato, love the word!! Like the poem too!!
You never know Viamaraie and Annette, give it a try.
Remember April is National Poetry Month.
Thanks Pat,
Sfumato is one of my favorite words from art school.

I thought the same when I read your poem.
Carol, we should call your blog, "How To Break Writer's Block the Carol Way".:) You've got lots of great poetry-writing ideas on your blog this month.
What an idea, Aurora!
