The love of painting!
Give me sunlight, cupped in a paintbrush,
And smear the red of peonies
Over my canvas.
Splash blue upon it,
The hard blue of a Greek sky.
Dip red again to mix a purple,
And lay on pointed flares of lilacs against bright green.
Streak yellow and flame it up to orange. Laurens G.Vermaesen
Now dot it so – and so – along an edge
Of purple pansies.
Swirl it a bit, faintly now. The Netherlands
Then put a band of brutal, bleeding crimson, [email protected]
And tail it off to pink,
And while you are loaded up with pink,
Just blotch about that bed of roses.
Fill it up with cobalt and dash in a sky
As hot and heavy as you can make it;
Then tree-green pulled up into that
Gives a fine jolt of color. Strain it out,
And melt your twigs into the cobalt sky,
Toss on some Chinese white to flash the clouds,
And trust the sunlight you’ve got in your paint.
There is the picture,
The vision made of pigments and hairy sticks.
"Poem after Amy Lowell".
