Dear Arthur -
ReplyDeleteAmazing! The bells of the masters. Too intense for Van Gogh, unrelenting for Poe.
Bravo
love,
Kathy
Arthur, I think this alliteration poem well written and quite interesting, because I learned a new word. Tintinnabulation=a ringing or tinkling sound. I liked too your comparisons. Thank you for sharing your talent and Kathy for yours too. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteGripping. A lot of truth in a few lines. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Arthur,
ReplyDeleteLoved the alliteration in the first line. Indeed, Poe's work always presents very clear images (or pictures) for readers. Van Gogh is one of my two favorite painters (Andrew Wyeth the other). It's a shame his mind became so cluttered with noise and depressing thoughts. Very well written! Love and blessings, Carolyn Devonshire
What a little gem of a piece this is Arthur, I love to think also of great masterpieces of art being painted by the author... Your words here add some weight to those initial thoughts because in that light bulb moment of using the word 'Tintinnabulation' you give light to how much more is brought forward from a well written poem - in respect of all the senses dancing...; a dramatization in itself at times... As you can see I took lots from this, well done.
ReplyDeleteLove this! You said so much in so few words. Well done!
