Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #326
A Masterpiece
by Belinda Roddie
A masterpiece! I see now that you've made
something far more magnificent than I
ever thought possible. I hope you're paid
in gold for such a pleaser to the eye.
The colors are just stunning, all the oils
so vivid as they hang upon the wall,
and as the silhouettes wind round like coils
against each other, it's as if you've called
them all together with your brush alone,
its hair still tinged with hues and shadows left
upon the canvas. Place it by a throne,
and other kings' rooms will all seem bereft
of art. If only I could meet your price -
I have no money, but your work is nice!
