Still Life

Sun-warmed jagged boulder;

heat-fried neck; Persian-blue

butterfly; crawls on a breeze-cooled

foot. Below; the spring bud-green grass.

Across; the deserted gray gravel street.

This poem to me feels like it is describing a painting. Which I would imagine was some what intended with the name Still Life.

Great Poem

This poem creates the motional images of stillness.
I love the way you have weaved your words

[Bacchus]

a fluttering still life-
with a breeze
movement frozen.

I like your use of words

Still life...do you perhaps listen to Opeth? A bit of an unorthodox band, but maybe worth the listen! Still life is one of their albums, and your writingstyle kind of reminds me of them. Sincerely yours, Jules.

an image of an oft forgotten moment - somehow "too busy" comes to mind

[slfisher89]

Cut back on the adjectives?

[Chris]

no... was a look behind my own eyes as my mind responded to images too often let fade into the past.
