Jason - Painting

On the writing:

This week's writing was pretty enjoyable.  Blank verse is a challenge because the rhythm is important, but with no rhyme it is easy to select the exact words you are looking for.  To add to that fun this week, I have selected a painting with is fairly well known and the plan is to let you guess.  If you send me a guess I will let you know if you have guessed the painting correctly.  If you don't want to play the game, I hope you still enjoy the writing.

Mystery Painting

Obsidian and terra-cotta strokes
Lift dark tongues to celestial arcade.
The tenebrous column divides the fore
And conjures deep questions of what is real.
The valley floor is paved in crooked walls
With lighted panes of glass and leaning doors.
Uneven tiny houses gathering
Around the pitched empty unlit parish.
Sapphire flourish, chaotic wealds embrace,
A barrier between the men and peaks.
As waves about to roll into the trough
And crickets silence mournful harmonies.
Above the trees the shadow giants roam.
Cerulean summits slow lumbering
In front of darkly painted beryl buttes
Which form the slumberous horizon’s crease.
This vision blurs then fades as eyes take flight
To stars in eddies, joy’s hypnotic dance.
So bright the splendor blemished rings appear
And sleepless sight becomes the Muse’s gift.
The yellow crescent curves a bit too deep.
A lunar guardian to over watch
By spinning beams much greater than the stars.

She looks away and frees you from the frame.
