The Artist's Dream

anguished

Rembrandt lay in an oozing pool
Of luscious oily colors
His head hung
between his shoulders drooping.
Still tied to his creation
In honey thick strands
Of membranous hues
Melting from his finger tips
He cried.
And the masses gathered
Behind their idol
To worship
That which would become a pillar of beauty
A masterpiece
Of that which they could not see
Nor understand.
As they praised his glorious feat
With insipid words of wisdom
He sobbed in defeat
“You do not understand!” he cried
“ It is still not as good…
…as the dream.”

A lovely write i like where the images took me
our dreams are as never quite as they seem and trying for them makes it so harder
let the dreams come to you

| Like the way you only really reveal the meaning of the poem in the last lines. As with your other work you have a good sense of poetic economy. |

I really enjoyed your use of imagery here. Rhyme scheme and meter flowed nicely. Enjoyed the read.
Peace,
