I wrote this after visiting the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery last night for their “Painted Palettes” Silent Auction. The Charleston Artist Guild will also be participating in tonights French Quarter Art Walk (which occur every first Friday of the month) from 5pm to 8pm.

The shuffle of feet
Bring the old ones out of their
Faded lawn Chairs
Eyes twinkling
Behind Dusty Frames.


Colors trumpet so they almost
Spring canvas and wood
Off of walls
On their own accord.


Scratches made on paper
Finalizing a well
Thought out
Decision.


Curious Youths giggle with
Wonderment and
Head past the main event
For cheese and crackers.


The low hum of voices
Barely echoes the greater
Rhythmic drone of florescent lights
Dancing over paint and pastel.
