Image:Painting the Moon (here)
(MLMM's Photo Challenge)
MLMM's 15 given words:
sodden angular prickly satin feverish
bristly (easily antagonized)
pumice (a spongy form of volcanic glass, used as an abrasive;to rub)
rigid
malleable (capable of being shaped).
viscous (of a glutinous nature;sticky; thick; adhesive)
waxy course cleft
tangible (capable of being touched;rather than imaginary or visionary)
barb
Standing on sodden ground trying in an angular way
It was rather prickly to attempt to paint garbed in satin
Sounding feverish she was transformed to a bristly soul
Needing a pumice rub-down in elements to clip rough edges
Of a rigid self in a malleable way to allow her to reach out
Viscous but waxy it left a coarse trail of loud colors
Of an artist struggling to create a realistic perspective
To extend an appropriate depth of field of visual picture
Slightly centered with perhaps a cleft on the moon's chin
No, there must be something dearly tangible to touch
Certainly more than just brilliance of sight in darkness
Feelings of restrictive movements of a barb wire mind
She could only lament of not fully achieving her goals

You worked those difficult words well, Hank. She does sound a bit prickly, with the need for some softening of edges.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy with a barb wired mind... I recommend gloved words.
ReplyDeleteThis feels like trying to walk through a blackberry bush
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have the knack og combining the words into your verses. Well done Hank.
