Ciao poet, you now have two votes.

Your poem makes a point and like you applied it to a poem in your notes.

Van Gogh is one of my all time favourite painters , he applied thick paint "impasto" to the canvas that gave a sense of motion and much emotion to his work.

Vincent's brush strokes tell us much about him and his moods while he was painting.

My mother was a painter ( and sculptor) and she used a palette knife at times. My favourite was a close up of a bull and the torero .. it seemed alive and I could feel all the drama of the moment.

    At times our first impression of someone is negative but if we take the time and effort to look more closely , we could be surprised to find things about that person that we actually like. 😐

Well said! A lovely abstract painting with a resonating message! Your metaphor could also apply to life in general, avoiding blanket dismissals of people and situations. An impressive entry for the monostich. No errors noted:)) Good luck! Debbie

    I think I might have used the word metaphor, it should perhaps have been allegory. Thank you for the review.

    Or analogy? But I'm quite happy with metaphor (rightly or wrongly)
