Artwork That Inspires Poetry Poem by Denis Martindale

My Stephen Gayford wildlife artwork poems
are sometimes started like this,
with over 400 uploaded, to share each storyline,
from incredibly-detailed paintings,
the lions, tigers and bears,
their family scenes together.
I like art and poetry websites, too,
as I can develop brand new themes,
new dreams, poetry portrayals from such as these...

The highlights, the tones, the light and the shadow,
the effervescent or fluorescent colours, the vibrant scenes,
altogether, creating magic each artist meant to share...
If our poems reflect such glory, we have done well...
But how will we know without finding the pictures?
Search engines help with a title or a keyword,
a remembrance of some artist and his particular style,
or a recommended place to start in search of art...

To see art fullscreen on one's large TV,
now that's something, the colours alone so pristine,
yes, there are splendours out there, somewhere,
awaiting each poet's pen, with paper at the ready
for all our unwritten wondrous words, yet to be...
and just an hour away... just an hour away...
