      June 13, 2015Painting MusicMadeleine Shea Gerson

      It’s like painting music
      splattering the music
      The wind carries it
      Playing it softer
      I’m pushing my vines
      swinging the colors
      Beautiful birds
      Colorful flowers opening up
      and spitting out the sky
      and pulling in the moon and the stars
      The blue and purple
      My hands are imprinted in the trees
      My colors coming alive
      Turning into animals of all sorts
      My favorite is the tiger
      with long streaks of every color
      In its head, a metallic blue
      that matches the sky
      White, fluffy clouds touch the horizon
      as animals leap, touching it,
      turning them pink like the sunset
      as the flowers swallow whole the sun
      like a vacuum
      and instead spitting out the stars in shapes
      as it sleeps

      from 2015 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “Because it’s creative and fun and pretty and it makes me feel happy. It makes me think of things I wouldn’t normally think of.”
