Sunday Challenge features mixed media art


Over at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, fellow Toad Grace has introduced members and contributors to the 3D textured acrylic art paintings and digital art prints of Kathryn Dyche Dechairo to use as inspiration for a new poem. Grace tells us Kathryn's work has been published in 'The Pulse of Mixed Media' by Seth Apter, and in  the Summer 2012 edition of Artful Blogging. She also mentioned that Kathryn is a poet as well.


Kathryn Dyche Dechairo, for use as prompt only

harvest moon hovers
o'er autumn-bared trees
while my heart cries with
hurt from your arrows.
how could you have been
so two-faced to me
how could you have said
that you
loved me?

Kathryn Dyche Dechairo

    I like the opening verse, autumn-bared trees ~ Poignant ending with those lies ~ Thanks for your lovely post Kay ~ Wishing you Happy Weekend ~

    You incorporated Kathryn's images so well into this poem - the season reflects the heartache.

    What a reminder that a beautiful bare- and spare- ness is also a time of great vulnerability. Easier for a tree, I think.

    Talk about a bang for you buck...or words! You've really packed a lot into just a few lines, which I really admire.

    you really do have a flare for short story telling Kay.
    This is quite sad yet beautifully told.
