In task

 

The taste of iron

Dampens the pallet

Artistry like no other

Skilled in execution

 

Adversities fate lies

Upon blank canvas

Vapid and untamed

Open yet foreboding

 

The glint in his being

A means of portrayal

Characteristic in task

Chill in finite result

 

In wake strides on

Stepping o’er past

Histories bedding

False mysteries

◄ The pen is mightier than the sword ?

One night ►

Hi! thank you for commenting on my recent poem. I like this a lot. you start the piece on a sensory note of smell, this is powerful and relates the reader to the piece. Its open meanings are clever too.The last line is lovely-Histories bending false mysteries is a great notion. :o)
