It sits

    dreaming

         suspended in perpetual anticipation
of a Game               never to come
   a microcosm of greater green life floats
beneath
it
       bright red stripes march across its dirtied bristles
          the handle dispersing shadows across the water

it is a requiem for a time better spent
playingskatinglaughingchildren

      a small ball the color of the sun
          hitting solidly, bouncing away
  scratching, scraping at knobbly ice

     sweeping across the surface for what seems like a lifetime
a lifetime spent in the most willing servitude to others

all gone

it sits in green
  yellow
    grey
    red
blue
  white
but most of all, green

suspended in green


waiting forever
This was my didactic for a landscape which I did for my beginning Painting class, which I will put up later once I take pictures. The formatting of the text got messed up putting it on dA thought >.<
And the title is actually Requiem for a Time Better Spent, but the character limit on dA is silly.
