she created patterns
some with bold strokes,
her charcoal sliding smoothly
predict of her fingers just right
when she went to fetch colours
feeble ones ran out of the paper-
leaving behind a chaotic art-
a hole here, a vacuum there
she poured paint over it
waited for it dry
when the paper fluttered in air
she inhaled the essence
disorder in an orderly piece
gave her such a high
elation of creating chaos
is better than any drink
chaos in art.. modern art? good take.. like that charcoal sliding part..!
ReplyDeletecolorful piece this.!
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI like the texture this took on, just like a painting.
ReplyDeletebravo!

Wonderful brooding "colours" symbolising emotions! Great final contrast getting a high from the chaos of art as opposed to drink!

Wonderful TWW.
Guatami, This is a lovely piece that engulfs the senses.
ReplyDeleteGreat rendition of an artist bringing a vision to reality. Your flow is great and the reader can see a painting as it develops. I was not sure how the title fit into the poem, but, I enjoyed the poem nevertheless!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful poem. I like the that I could see the feeble paint running from the paper. Imagery at its best.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you for crafting it ;)
Yes, yes, yes on Creating Chaos.
ReplyDeleteYES.
Good one
ReplyDeleteExcellent description of the creation of chaos! :)
ReplyDeleteCreating art, whether on paper, canvas or screen, is definitely more intoxicating than any drink. I guess that's why we do it, right?
ReplyDeleteOh, those feelings are so familiar. Loved the poem.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Gautami! "elation of creating chaos". I ought to feel that more often!!
ReplyDeletevery interesting ideas here
ReplyDeleteनमस्ते, काव्य महिला. I do believe this is one of your better pieces. Maybe you should write in this voice more often. I do like the way you described this artistic event and its emotional conclusion. Thanks Gautami!
ReplyDeleteRegards,
DH
Familiar feelings indeed!

art is a wonderful form of expression... a wonderful strong piece...
ReplyDeleteI particularly liked when she inhaled the essence of her creation, that attempt to fill all of her senses with the minutest details of its whole. You never fail to catch my breath and this certainly is no exception.
