I usually do lots of thinking before I write a poem, but I'd like to try it another way, since I'm in a bit of an experimental stage at the moment. Just set out to write, and beat some creativity into it with a club, to put it in a straightforward way.
The Portrait
A humble facade,
Sharp in contrast
To a dance of pastel,
Creams, patterns,
Jewels so bright,
They appear dull.
Proud figure so full
Of surprised delight,
Complexion lanterns
Cast mystery well,
Deep and steadfast.
As she looks at me,
Can't help but wonder
What I see.
Inspiration: I stumbled upon a journal at TJ Maxx one day. I guess it wasn't beautiful, at first sight, but it really got me thinking. The cover was almost a Mona Lisa on so many levels of my crazy thought process. It happened to have this portrait on the cover: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u79/ksonniks/ladyAgnew.jpg

Wow, that's really cool! I'll have to read it a few more times to get the full effect, but I really like it! The portrait is really pretty too! Great job!
