Name three great poets? No you say. Well, just maybe, yes.
While perusing the paint isle in my local big box hardware behemoth, I found poems. Reading the names of tiny paint swatches gave way to some great found poetry. Give it a try.
Jules,
Neutrally nice
Ashes of roses in an ember glow
Forget me not.

Marina,
temptress by candle light,
kimono, California wine, bubble bath.
A sweet sachet of orchid bloom.

Cloudburst on a melancholy country road,
Weathered post and rusty rail.
The March wind in canyon echo through the dry riverbed.
I may not be Emily Dickinson but I just may give Farrow Ball a run for his money.
I love the names of paint colours. When there is nothing else, it can be the starting point of a room.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry is most inspiring and you will certainly give F & B some good substitute names instead of Mouses Back turned Churlish Green, Cats Paw was dipping in Dead Salmon
