The Artist

For the 10 words I Give Contest

My skin is now ready for your eyes 

Not for a stranger in the night 

I know you are waiting for a rhyme 

Like a rainbow that's out of sight 

I painted birds and chickens on canvass 

I know you'll remember this day 

Spend time calculating the hues 

To create a piece all the way 

You may fall short of time and chance 

You may pause and then hurry 

But that's how we create like we explode 

Be obedient if you don't want to feel sorry.

She's an artist. She paints. She write songs, poems and stories. Even a stranger could prove that. Her skin tattoos speak so well. You can see flowers and animals on her arms, neck and shoulder. So funny that even chickens can be seen once you closely look at those marks. As a poet, she mostly observe rhyme and meter. She would always spend time calculating the syllables in a line. She always remember her mentor's teachings even when writing short pieces. There was no moment that she's not obedient of the rules she had learned from him. She won't forget that anything should not be done in a hurry. She is an artist, and her creativity is like an emotion that is going to explode once properly set.

A amazing poem dear friend.
"Not for a stranger in the night
I know you are waiting for a rhyme
Like a rainbow that's out of sight ."
The above lines could stand alone. Thank you Dhaye for sharing your amazing poetry.

Very atmospheric piece, using the words provided very well.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thanks so much for spending your time here.

[Eddie Davis]

I gave it a try, Dhaye, and crafted a very odd poem with a really messed up syllable count. I liked your story paragraph using the words too.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Haha. You can do it, Eddie. You are good in making poems aside from writing fantasy. Thanks for dropping by.

Bravo! Creative use of all 10 words. I am thinking of attempting this one myself but haven't done it yet. It is truly challenging and that is why I like making this contest for you folks. Nicely done!

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thank you so much. The contest itself was the inspiration.

[DIVYA]

Amazingly done Dhaye...You had 10 words to delve into the mind of an artist and you did it so beautifully. i am very inspired by the poem.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

It is an honor to be read by a great and smart poetess like you, Divya. I write light poems only and trying to fight writer's block by joining contests. I am not so sure of this one.. I was trying to write a story but. my net connection is weak so I will just let it be this way.
Thank you for appreciating this one.

[DIVYA]

Well...Dhaye I am glad reading this one which gives me a feeling, the writer's block is giving way. Thank you for the kind words my dear friend, I value your appreciation and I want you to know that you are a special too.💕💕💕
