The World of a Child #NWCU #poetry #art #photography
Join New World Creative Union each Wednesday forWednesday Wake-Up Call . The prompt today is to use all of the following:
1. The colors yellow, blue, and green
2. A triangle
3. Peace
4. Lilacs.
5. A child
Any media can be used or a combination of media but each element must be part of the work of art
today your world is tops and trains
boats and thingy ma jigs
your bold striped top of blue and white
your twin’s is yellow and white
your shorts are green
primary colors mark the start
“go go go”
you move and squirm
hold you is all we want to do
nap time – the perfect motionless moment
The lilacs are placed back on the coffee table
peace enters your world and mine
****
tomorrow you will mark the wall of your world
bold colors of blue sailboats
green dinosaurs
yellow tow trucks
lines and triangles on paper
crayon dashes on your bedroom wall
the artist of the future
where peace is in the noise
your mother’s lilacs are used as swords
***
many tomorrows from now
you will remove the primary from your world
you will color in impressionism
construct over the triangle
you will study the lilac
reaching into the fragrance
master the seas
paint stories in the clouds
a dash of yellow, blue and green
brings a smile
peace will reign once more
your walls will be large and white
plenty of room for hanging
masterpieces
big and small
all coming
from
your
world
since you were
a child

This post marks my 900th entry of poetry and art
also celebrates the people who have encouraged me to stay with it
thanks to each of you dear people
We are glad you did stay with it, we are privileged
I very much enjoyed how you revisit the concepts, the colors changing over the course of a lifetime. A beautiful response to the prompt.
thanks Anna
I loved the colors and how they kept popping up
they certainly are strong in a child’s life
I love reoccurring colors and themes of this. It amused my child inside and out.
glad to hear that Sean
its nice to write light hearted…
Love the fact the photo is void of the wonderful colors and scents you’ve peppered throughout this tale, Leslie. It allows our mind to run away with the greens, the yellows, the blues…and the lilacs…perfect blending for the prompt! Bravo! Now to finish mine!
I too like how the image is without color but your words are the brush that gives it life. Nice work!
What a way to celebrate with another fine poem…thanks Leslie.
very cool, love the photo and the poetry is fantastic, really great mix
I love the photograph / saving it for my pile of stuff to pen and ink
Beautiful!
This is fine. Another example of your ability to find or to create balance, in words and between the words and the image.
Thanks
This is indeed a multi-dimensional work of art Leslie! Bravo! Roger ☺
Interesting movement through this piece. I enjoyed the perspective changes as you look at a life. Like the photo, too.
I enjoyed how this story progressed through the stages of capturing a child’s life, but what really caught my eye was your image. Well penned and captured all around!
I love this, it’s beautiful ! I have three grown children and
so many fun memory’s came back as I read it, thank you.
Beautiful from the image through the verse.The progression is fantastic.
Congrats on 900 and let’s hope for another 900 to come.
Just had to try this straight away! Have palnned to buy a macro lens when I get my grandmother’s inheritance may play around with this now and rethink that plan! My pics were really dark but then it is after dinner time so maybe not bright enough??
