Welcome to the Ninth Edition of the Poetry and Painting Blog!
For this entry I would like to pass the baton to an amazing North Carolina artist, Ana Sumner. As a fiber artist, she loves exploring "the things not seen" and "the things seen"...what the natural world reveals to her. She expresses this using painted fabric, silk ribbon, threads and beads. Below is her own poem with her visual creation made of the above named elements.
"All’s a Flutter"
As the snow has covered the ground
in the early morning hours my imagination wanders off…
How I long to see the colors that spring brings
with all its purples, blues and greens
a dash of yellow, orange and pink
a dash of yellow, orange and pink
and the flutter of butterflies
With my creative being,
I begin to stitch a ribbon of purple and yellow
I begin to stitch a ribbon of purple and yellow
and one of pink and blue
Before you know it a garden art appears to warm my winter!
