Seabird, poetry in motion



This weeks Illustration Friday topic is Poem.
So I wrote a poem for an acrylic painting I had already done!
I don't actually write poetry, but this is my second attempt and I really enjoyed doing it.

flight from the night
subdued sunset
casts
bruised hues
on a white breast
agile wings
beat
winds of chaos
before the clash
of sea and sky
ashore
lonesome cry
fly storm bird fly

Hi Janie, thanks for commenting on my drawing. I didn't do a course for the zen drawing, there's a book called Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing by Frederick Franck. I just read that. There's a link to it on the sidebar of my blog.
