A flash poem written for JD Mader's 2minutes go writingexercise... It's every Friday-Sunday, so if you fancy writing something - whatever you feel like - head over there, or just read the flash fiction and poetry.
Portrait
Sketch a simple outline,
Tracing each and every
Curve and moving angle;
Fill in the spaces in between
Lines, careful not to skim over,
Staying always inside this
Safety net. Paint it the perfect
Colour, see it real, pouring
In passion, earth and quietude.
Wait for the coming rain, the
Splash of desire for something
Outside, something new,
Beyond the now oft-dotted lines.
Step outside and relish in
A haze of multiple hues – this
Vision lifting to become you,
Wet with a layer of paint.
And then hope it stays true.
