Loyalty, honour Is it a creed or maxim only old souls know? Ink drops splashed on the pages bound tightly in my heart’s blood. #inkMine #maxim #tankapoem #tanka #writing #poetsofbluesky #art #Caravaggio

Caravaggio, St. Jerome Writing, 1605-06.

Style: Baroque, Tenebrism
Oil on canvas
Borghese Gallery, Rome, Italy

A representation of St. Jerome, not as a saint, but a scholar. A vibrant, rich red cloak is draped over his shoulder; whilst his head is studiously bent over his writing. A skull and parchment books are featured on his writing table.

Sweet dreams, my darling despite our unravelling when two souls were one a photograph in your mind to look back upon with love. #TankaThursday #TankaPoem #photograph #micropoetry #tanka #writing #art #Vargas #SweetDreams

Alberto Vargas, Sweet Dreams, Nov. 1940.
Watercolor and airbrush on paper.
Esquire Magazine gatefold.
Modeled by his wife, Anna Mae Vargas.
Description:
Peruvian artist Alberto Vargas’s alluring portrait of a beautiful woman asleep with flowing golden hair, accented by a black bow—as she rests her head on her shoulder and arm; while lightly touching a large white and pink flower with a slightly green and yellow center that may be an Orchid.

winter shoreline the roots of dead beach grass holding on it’s getting harder to know where I begin or end #imageandverse #TankaPoem #tanka #haiku #nature #poem #LakeMichigan #scape #dailyhaikuprompt (winter grass)

A frozen beach scene with brooding clouds. A line of dead beach grass softly divides the shore from the frozen waves.
