Imagination!



Picture Credit: Google Images

Imagination!
Paint the  picture in your mind
What are there with words

Close your eyes and see
Liberal hues of colors
Shades of the rainbow

Good artists do that
The best you can imagine
Will create great wonders

Natural talent
Is difficult to explain
But works all the time

Submitted for Chev's Haikublog Tackle it Tuesday with prompt 'paint the picture' ,  Real Toads - Open Link Monday

  1. Yeah hard to explain
    But comes like a train
    Each has their own
    If they let their imagination set the tone
    First
    With my burst

  2. Pat,
    You are very fast
    Just can't imagine
    Others bite the dust
    And you're singing

    Brian will be there
    He's just as fast
    He'll make a dare
    He'll laugh last!

  6. What an odd little ode to imagination that makes me glance at picture and at words again and again. I cannot explain it, but it demonstrates your natural talent of never letting the eye rest and ending on an up note. Nicely done.

  15. I wonder sometime if there really is such a think as 'natural talent.' As I see it, the most important ingredient of talent is HARD WORK.

  16. So many have "natural" talent but never follow through. Einstein also said he had no special talent, but he was passionately curious. :)

  17. The mind of Einstein. Wow! Imagination to see the possible and the math to make it work! Very rare.
    Nice work, Hank.

  18. Natural talent....whats weird is if you have natural talent in say...baseball, society affords that, but in the arts it does seem much harder for the talented to step off the curb....Loved this.

  21. joanne,
    In most instances we would have been told what is next week's prompt in advance. I would post my poem a few days earlier (when Mr Linky wasn't there yet) and linked it the moment Mr Linky appears.
