Spring Paintings by Kinkade--By David Austin--United States

Spring Paintings by Kinkade

purple sky at eve
a log cottage by a stream
with windows aglow

after Vietnam
my old familiar path home
lights and chimney smoke

lilac carnival
decorates each city block
it must be springtime

a splendid stone bridge
arched over a placid flow
june night memory

blue wildwood steeple
with many a wagon track
june morning service

dusk in the city
rain soaked streets thrusting up light,
cars, shops and people

  3. Thank you, Connie Marcum Wong, for the following comment--

    David, the light projected by his paintings pales in comparison to the vivid imagery of your poetic words. Just beautiful!

    Blessings, Lotus

    The peace and nostalgia I find in Kinkade's painting are reflected in this poem.
