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
Yeah hard to explain
ReplyDeleteBut comes like a train
Each has their own
If they let their imagination set the tone
First
With my burst
P.S. Brian is worst.
ReplyDeletePat,
ReplyDeleteYou 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!

"paint a picture what are there with words" sounds exactly like how my kids would say that. what's there? there! love this.
ReplyDeleteoh pat, you make me want to eat my hat....ha
ReplyDeletefun, yes artist do just that...bringing our own imaginations alive with their work...as we do withour words...
Imagination..it would be a dull life without it.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteimagination too needs nurturing ...I hope our computer bound children do not end up lacking in it for what then of art and creativity ? ..loved this thank you for sharing x
ReplyDeleteDon't I wish I had a small cup of that natural talent to dip into from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun.but yes, the process of creativity is difficult to explain.
ReplyDeleteHank, I love the second stanza. Nice visual.
ReplyDeletePamela
Interesting and quirky:)
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed natural talent is there in all of us, sometimes we just have to find it, or, wake it up. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteNatural talent ... so very true. Nice haiku, well done.
ReplyDeleteI like my muse to wander and see where it will take me ~ I like the use of imagination ~
ReplyDeleteAnd I am giggling at Pat and Brian's comments..ha..ha...
'natural talent difficult to explain... lovely line for wonderful haiku ~~ thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteSo many have "natural" talent but never follow through. Einstein also said he had no special talent, but he was passionately curious. :)
ReplyDeleteThe mind of Einstein. Wow! Imagination to see the possible and the math to make it work! Very rare.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Hank.
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.
ReplyDeleteJaunty piece...nature does work all the time, and in her own way.....enjoyed it thoroughly...however, one question: how can you link with tackle it tuesday without using the prompt, and a day early too?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very hard to explain, Hank, but you have it.
ReplyDeleteK
joanne,
ReplyDeleteIn 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.

Imagination is freedom ... so much to explore!! Nice take on the prompt!! Breakfast with a View
