I am Paint

The winds places on my face

Like paint onto a canvas

Wisping my hair across my forehead with strokes of radiant red

Light layered lines 

Accompany caressed crashing curls

Soon my whole body turns to paint

 

Blotched boldly

Bounded to the paper

Heavy bounces of bristles bind together

Tedious traces of tiresome lines longing 

for direction

 

Arms curve cascading in confusion

Stomach jolts jaggedly

And my legs lounge lazily

 

I turn to splotches and spillage

I fall off the hard dense canvas

And plunge into a puddle

 

Misguided mismatched colors blend

Into a swirl of singing shades


The author's comments:

This pieces was insipired simply by my art class, during our painting unit. It made me think of how I would paint myself, and my feelings. I used imagery and description of the paint to describe my confused, and messy emotions, and then at the end of the poem I become happy, which is represented by falling off the canvas.

This is a really good poem! It had great description and imagery, it was like I could see it all happening. You need to keep writing more.
