Within my mind, I step
into your created room
wherein everything is blue,
even the shape of you
among outlined objects,
brush striped black.
Desolation to be found,
spread out onto the canvas,
hides for hues of summer blues
beyond the one painted window,
persuasively alluring my eyes
begging me to hurry outside,
to walk through green fields
down to quiet water of a lake;
yet I stay to wonder about you,
captured in your room of blues.

Wow! I really love this one! Makes me want to wander through the art books looking for the painting you saw.
I can almost see it in my mind the way you “painted” it.
Francina said:
Thank you for your much appreciated comment! I’m happy to hear you could visualize the painting.
Ciao, Francina

Beautiful repetition, circling back to this amazing creative blue moment. The authors voice shares everything in the room with her reader and i enjoyed the glimpse…
Francina said:
Thank you , Brandy! Your comment is much appreciated! Ciao, Francina

Sharing someone’s blues can be a true act of love, you know. It would be good to eventually be able to lead the “blue” one out into the sunshine, of course!
Francina said:
I agree with you, Rose. Thank you for your much appreciated comment. Ciao, Francina

Weer zo’n mooi gedicht – blauw is de mooiste kleur!
Francina said:
Dank je wel, Ina, voor je bezoekje !
hartelijke groetjes, Francina
Ina said:
In dit gedicht is blauw misschien iets minder mooi
dat dan weer wel. Het trieste zag ik pas na de tweede keer lezen.
Francina said:
blauw blijft mooi
ik vond het schilderij niet echt triest , meer fascinerend . Hele fijne Paasdagen!

As commented above, this brilliantly evokes Van Gogh’s “blue” period. So vibrant and colourful, yet focused solely on shades of one particular palate. Gorgeous. Francina, I love it.
Francina said:
Thank you, Holly… your lovely comment is much appreciated.

Lovely…I’m actually thinking of a Matisse…
Francina said:
Thank you, Jennifer. I can see why you thought of a Matisse painting, he has blue rooms too. I don’t remember the name of the painting or the artist, I saw this painting years ago in the Modern Tate in London and I never wrote down the name.
Ciao, Francina

The curious, wondering mood you have evoked within this beautiful poem makes me curious as to the painting that inspired this wonderful piece. Yet I’m still content to just sit amongst the sweetly flowing scene you have captured.
Really very wonderful!
Francina said:
Thank you, Tikarma. As I replied to Jennifer I don’t remember the Artist’s name but I never forgot the painting.
Have a wonderful day, Francina xx

Absolutely beautiful Francina. I too am captivated by the Artist as I am of the Art. Thank you for writing this poem, it brought to mind Van Gogh.
Jackie
Francina said:
Thank you, Jackie! This was one of the paintings you at first sight think..hmm.. and then take a better look and again . Some paintings you just don’t forget. It was not van Gogh , and sadly I can not tell you the name of the artist because I forgot the name.
Ciao, Francina

And I wonder about the painting which provoked your feelings.
Although I don’t have to see it. Your poem evokes a mood so well
David
Francina said:
Thank you, David! I have to keep you wonder though, sorry. I forgot who it was and the name of the painting I saw years ago.
Ciao, Francina
