Hi Christine. This is an excellent post and sorry not to have a sixer for you. Well composed and rhymed. Great interpretation of the image. He looks imposing and she looks disinterested. Marilyn

Good interpretation Christine using the colours of the artwork for the colours of her life. 'bleak and blue while she charades in red'
but still she's seeking love. Enjoyed it,
cheers,
valda

Looking for true love is a challenge in youth and when you are attractive there are always unwanted admirers along the way, great rhymes Christine, love Dolly x

Well goodness me, Christine you have a lot of terrific thought processes going on in your interpretation of this artwork in flowing rhythm and rhyme.

And, I will have you know, your final lines have inspired me to find what lies beneath too.

Excellent contribution to the Club.

Gloria

Chris,

That was fun! I liked the last part a lot where you challenge us to write our own piece to this artwork. I haven't seen that before and it added something new and different. hahaha Thanks!

I really like your interpretation of this picture. Your poem sounds almost exactly like what my daughter is going through - so sad. You did a nice job on this.

You can see so much through someone's eye. Pain,devotion,hatred it has no bounds. You can see into ones soul just by looking into ones eyes or so they say.

These lines, although so colorful, are also haunting:
The colours of her life it must be said
Are bleak and blue while she charades in red.
I love the alliteration of "bleak" and "blue."
What a great entry. I am thinking with the line: No loving warmth from him has ever shown
you might want to try "he's ever shown" in the last three words. And that's all to improve on!

You've convinced me in your interpretation of the painting, Christine. She looks away like she's not interested and he seems intent but cold in blue so she longs for real love. Great job!
