A picture paints a thousand words
But it takes far less words to paint a picture
A baby sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms
A child's innocent smile
The love of your life
Images in our minds
More real than they could ever be painted
Inspired by Magpie Tales
Clever opening lines and a perfect intro' to the second stanza. I like this very much.
ReplyDeleteAh - nicely done! I too like the way you open this, and take the painting as your jumping off point. You rightly point to the power of your minds in the creative process.
ReplyDelete"more real then they could ever be painted" Yes, yes! But we must hope the painters don't stop trying.
ReplyDeleteThat last line is stunning Amber! So much truth painted in your poetry!
ReplyDeleteI love love love the opening line...
