Starting ...

Written after cleaning old skirting boards ...

 

Starting …

 

Shaving old skirting boards

Leaving clean wood

Clearing the sawdust

Out of my brain

Instead of gibberish

 

Poetry must prevail

Preventing a veil of tears

Washing a painted

Canvas of ideas

 

Plenty pundit choruses

Shame of leaving them

Behind dusty curtains

In the shed of former glory

 

New times are coming

The home of the writer

Now merely standing

Soon to be erect

Displaying it’s former splendour

[Dani California]

I read this as a poet/writer who has a thousand ideas, half finished works, old truths... lingering... which now need a cleansing. Dump them, start with new ideas, new works... which reflect new truths. Just my interpretation.

I really enjoyed this stanza:

Poetry must prevail
Preventing a veil of tears
Washing a painted
Canvas of ideas

Very lovely. Starting a new painting... of words.
Enjoyable read, thank you Denise. :)

___________ here a hopeful begining and by leaving the old battered things have got a new voice. A well written piece.

Nice, cleaning the sawdust from your head, clearing your mind to allow creativity to flow. Creative work.

when i read this line Poetry must prevail Preventing a veil of tears" this reminded me of painting with words,
and your prove it with this line, Washing a painted Canvas of ideas, glossy and intentful, beautifully subtle.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Very creative to associate the cleaning with finding new starts in life...

Poetry must prevail
Preventing a veil of tears
Washing a painted
Canvas of ideas


AMEN to that... poetry is a great way to vent our emotions and hopefully for a read to relate and make them feel something too.

Awesome job!!
