Villanelle to a depressed pollock

Villanelle to Pollock

- Mark

To form do not keep.

Color outside the lines,

Now do not weep.

On to paper, your solitude, let it creep.

Pour it out,

To form do not keep.

A painting, a movement, an angry sweep.

Use your colors, let it out.

Now do not weep.

Let the colors run deep,

An autumn brown, maybe some black.

To form do not keep.

Let the colors seep,

Black splatters, and brown, and gold

Now not weep

And it is over, now sleep

On canvas it is complete.

To form do not keep.

Now do not weep.
