Three Poems Inspired By Artwork

“Flight of Love”

The young flying up in the sky
The earthling mother sending the child up high
With a bow in one hand
And an arrow in the other
The shot of love is created
The forest and the sky
The leaves and the bushes
Creates the great environment the child was raised in
The love of the mother
Has sent the child flying into the sky with love
You can see the unity between the two
The mother has finally sent him up.

“The Shepherdess”

The gloomy eyes give a sense of sadness
The dark background show signs of death
The girl portrayed in the painting has no shoes
Giving her a poor beggar look
She sits on the floor barefoot
Her hands are holding extra clothing
It seems that she has been rushed out of house
This painting delivers a feeling of unhappiness
Looking at this painting almost makes you cry with it
Because she is so mad and sad looking
The clouds added in the background show that the sky might rain
She seems homeless.

“The Picture Book”

The bright lights in the room
Create a happy environment
But the expression of the girl’s face
Shows a sad look
The picture book she is reading may be her source of sadness
Judging by her clothes
She seems like a person of the medieval times
The shape and design of the chair also helps us
Determine the period
I’m entranced by the lighting of the artwork
How the artist made the light shining
Through the curtains so real
She is about to cry.
