Two In Tandem # 6

Crystal Cave
of childhood
imagination
sparks memory
of long ago sense
of wonder,
safety
never to be found
again.

 Here is the latest collaboration - Elizabeth's words and my 'painting', which you are welcome to use on your blog if you you'd like to join in...but do leave us a link, so we can visit. Otherwise, if your  muse strikes, you can always give her free rein in a comment here!
At Unraveling each Tuesday,  the roles are reversed, for Elizabeth posts my poems inspired by her artwork. Do feel free to play along. Susannah, at Panopticulated has already decided to do so, and
I couldn't resist linking to Poets United Thursday Think Tank, as they have  a seaside theme today. Although I had no subject in my conscious mind when I  began painting, the end result did feel as though it encompassed land and water - i.e. some Neverland beach...

  3. This wonderful image looks even better posted large like this (blogger automatically resizes mine to 400 pixels max size?)

    I love Elizabeths words too, especially 'the sense of wonder, safety never to be found again.'

    Thanks for letting me play along. :-)

    (I have actually added some notes to the bottom of my post this morning - before I dash off to the dentist!)

    Have a good day. x

  9. Hello Jinksy.
    Your hues of blue/white do indeed remind me of the crystal caves I see on the TV.

    Lovely words & artwork!
