I am one with this painter’s hand,
Sheltering me within this gray glove, out of sight.
I am Leonor’s shadow sentinel, we will not be banned.
**
My tail imprints an oil tattoo for all to understand,
Our mark in the world is a graceful, playful sight.
I am one with this painter’s hand.
**
Yet others say we are disgraceful and misunderstand,
Leaving us to bare our scars from the fight.
I am Leonor’s shadow sentinel, we will not be banned.
**
Thrusting through a narrow threshold, to expand,
Sensual symphony on full display to delight.
I am one with this painter’s hand.
**
A deafening roar of chaotic thoughts splashes across the muted land,
Some will embrace, and others stay uptight.
I am Leonor’s shadow sentinel, we will not be banned.
**
Tis no matter, my presence hidden like the grains between toes of forgotten sands,
For my weaver of worlds dares all to excite.
I am one with this painter’s hand.
I am Leonor’s shadow sentinel, we will not be banned.

Appreciation of the work Angels and Demons
The novel "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown is a marvelous work of literature, opening up a world full of mystery, conspiracy, and the juxtaposition between the two supreme forces of the Vatican organization. Written by a talented author, the book is not only an adventurous journey full of drama but also an opportunity to delve deep into philosophical, religious, and scientific issues.

Her Majesty Mia and her minions
I rule this rag tag lot… they’re not much, but they’re all I’ve got! I preside at the head of the table, my indisputable, rightful place. But, I randomly perch on other chairs at a moment’s notice… whenever the mood strikes. Such fun keeping them off balance. Fun reminding them who’s boss... ME!

I am intrigued and now must research :)
This is beautiful
Wonderful work inspired but a wonderful choice of art. I was no previously familiar with the artist so thank you for the introduction. As a surrealist painting it makes much more sense that others of that movement.
This is very well written. Felt like the poems in english literature textbooks. Great work.
Well-wrought! This line literally made me gasp with appreciation: "my presence hidden like the grains between toes of forgotten sands" I love that you pay homage to the painters! Surrealism is especially dear to my heart!
To me this reads like one of those poems we read in English literature. Good work.
