Literal Paintings Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living in a cocoon of my own making, feeling peaceful
and at ease within my mind and soul.
Recognizing natural beauty in rhythms as I encase life
in an imaginational depth beyond my horizons.
Accentuating every thought as it presents itself in
images from beneath coverlets of subconsciousness,
placing their pictures into words, forming literal oil
paintings to placate this mind's experience and sense
of wonder and awe of everything in this world.
