PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

THE CHINESE BRUSH

Passed down from distant Dynasties

through frameworks formed by principles

the Chinese brush the instrument of

 the rhythmic skills of mastery.

Prepared from bark of  sandalwood

the porous paper gathers strokes

by hair of wolf and goat applied

the ink of soot and gum.

Positioned down the laden brush

through pressures in directed lines

with breath of life and energy

reflects creative faculty.

Both form and space in complement

and crystalized through skills consigned

avoiding codes of symmetry

the rhythmic skills of artistry.
