She hears paint splash on canvas
Soft paint bristles rustle
Detached from the incessant din

Val’s Looking at Poems Around the World. I chose the following form:
“2. Peru: The Wayra – A popular form originating in Peru/Bolivia from the indigenous Quechua people. The word wayra means wind in the Quechua language. This short syllabic verse has 5 lines with a syllable count of 5/7/7/6/8. It is unrhymed and incorporates onomatopoeia within the verse. How about a theme of urban life?”
I love how you take us on a journey from the thrum of the city into a peaceful respite, with the sounds of the splashing paint and bristling brushes, sounds I very much enjoy!🎨

Jennifer I love this tapping into the inner peace amid the chaos of the city… I find that I can do the same with a good book! Great use of the prompt!
