Shroud Black Canvas

9 more days...


From shroud black canvas
An image numbs your mind
Empty tortured eyes
Dripping pus yellow
You stand paralyzed
 A thousand gravities
Threatening to bury you
Where you stand

  1. That's what my painter's blocks feel like. The blank surface mocking me and I can't move an inch to draw or paint anything on it. It IS very scary when that happens. - G

  5. Pat, my mind is numb. You truly were denied Halloween as a kid, weren't you? Reading your stories, I know this is true - but must you curse us now??? :-)

  6. the one line about pus reminds me f the Beatle's song " I am the Walrus." The line "yellow-matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye." is an absolute favorite of mine. It is descriptive and disgusting all at once. Your poem is the same..which is why I like it!
