i am but a speck on the floor
walk by and you will miss me
grand towers rise
to the copper sky
of sunset
and icons watch
unblinking
while i breathe the city dust
and dirt
and spit the phlegm of despair at your feet .

Poem and painting, verse and vision. I like both.
Hi Kay, you certainly have taken on quite a bit here.
You are doing well, I like poem and painting.
Excellent poem! I love this part especially:
"grand towers rise
to the copper sky
of sunset"
Good luck with completing a painting a day; THAT is ambitious indeed. I can't wait to scroll down and give them a look. I also paint.

Kay,
A painting a day! That is great Ma'am.You'll have a lot on your plate,365 no,366 this year. I might just emulate you at 52 this year( I need to catch up for the 2 weeks of Jan though)My medium would mainly be pencil and pastel sketches. Will be following you and thanks for visiting!
