hers was a strange request
these guys had to consider the fallout
what the hell! you only live once!
her only stipulation?
paint me bright yellow
pour all your creativity
into some awesome wall art ..
and should it rain
I'll simply morph into
a pool of yellowy pigment
really cool 'gutter graffiti'
It does make an impression to be wall-art.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely wonderful, Helen! It sounds lovely to be painted yellow like the sun.. shining brightly! 💘💘
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Helen!

ReplyDeleteYour spirit shines through here, Helen. Love the thought of you up on a billboard where you can shine down on them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ekphrastic poem, Helen. Love the whimsy!
ReplyDeleteSmiling, just like the wall!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
ReplyDeleteLove that sentence—make me shine like the sun!
That's exactly the message I got from my Great Uncle and Priest, Dr. Sjang Nelissen: Look like the sun—radiate light and warmth—always and everywhere—wherever you will be: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2012/03/march-14-written-life-message-for-me-by.html
