Soulmates - Michael Perryment

| He set up his easel, people gathered, watched as he pinned paper to wood, placed pencils and pens in the rack, set up his portable chair and surveyed the scene ahead... A church on the corner, flint knapped and capped, square towered.The people searched for his brushes, there were none. Anticipation as he held nib to paper; dipped and dripping, he began. Letters flowed across the page, a poem of stone and wood, of spire and slate, leaf and tree. ‘I paint in words’ he said, as the crowd drifted away...One remained at his side. She smiled, produced a small note book, pocket size, palm of hand size. A tiny palette of paints, watercolour blocks, minute. A slender brush touched water. She began.A page the size of a postcard she used to capture the church, the stone, the slate and the steeple, the leaves and trees, the wood and flint. 'I write in pictures' she said. as the clouds drifted away.She painted a bright yellow sun with a smile that mirrored his own...He wrote of the gold and the fires that danced and sparked in her eyes...http://www.poetrymagazines.org.uk/magazine/record.asp?id=14486# | |
