The Studio Visit
You step into the room
Dressed in black
Head to toe
Return from the north
Come in from the cold
Gratefully mention
The virtue of warmth
It is no palace
Only a simple studio
A place of creativity
As we review the work
The hour bends
We are drunk with images
Take a break…
Quietly we sit
And sip our tea
Our knees touch
Diminishing the distance
Between us
You have traveled far
While I am here working
We are not the same
As we were in May
We speak of
“The Clock”
Of time
The images
Like poetry
With ties to the past
Express wishes
As if they have
Been here forever waiting
While some are ditched
Others are praised
And yet…
Many images seen for
The first time

Beautiful work, Annnell. Change reminds us that time is distance. The touching knees diminish the space change can bring. Lovely write.
Oooh a truly rich and visual poem (which is why if you don’t mind my humble opinion I would remove the word visual)… this is a beauty. ( The site is also stunning).
Such a quiet poem, comfortable, as is the relationship portrayed. The scene vividly painted,
And yet…

Really like all of it, the imagery and feeling of distance overcome and diminished, and the satisfaction of work well done and appreciated. But, most of all, love that last line, and how it reminds me that having another pair of eyes looking, seems to make it all different and ‘seen for the first time.’

A comforting, cosy, friendly poem. Good wordling.
Great images here!
This poem has a comforting and calming quality to it. Lovely.
Understated and lovely – I like how much art figures into your poem and the veiled reference to “The Clock” is intriguing.
