mysteries hidden from view!

                                                                                                  Artist: Cheryl Kellar
Image:  Time to Bloom  (here)

Grace introduced the most colorful paintings of Cheryl Kellar
who graciously allowed us choice of her paintings as an inspiration
for a poem

Painting chosen: Entitled 'Time to Bloom' but I see a most colorful
entrance of a cave by the side of a cliff

From far below we could see the bare outline
Not that distinct nor necessity for a quarantine
But close enough to discern the insides so damp
Dramatic hard climb scaling rocks in the offing

Skipped across a ridge and jagged shoulders
True enough there was what looked like a cavern
Guarded menacingly by two huge pink boulders
With bated breath we approached the entrance

Having passed the rows of lush green bushes
Outside walls above of subdued pastel hues
Darkness inside acrid pitch black enhanced the urge
To unravel what mysteries hidden from view

For Grace's hosting at d"Verse and
Thomg's at  3WW with words acrid,  dramatic, quarantine

  2. see - that is what i love about abstract paintings - everyone sees something different in them... when we were kids we were always searching for caves to discover...and made up some pretty weird stories about them as well...smiles

    1. You can put some additional colors into your surroundings. Blue and pink will end up with somewhat pinkish purplish blue perhaps! That can be one of the mysteries!
