1. Bjorn, I love how you used the prompt. Such a wonderful character study. Also how one might catch a glimpse of how others might see them. Perfect song choice of Prince, The Maestro.

   • Could have been Purple Haze by Hendrix as well.

2. luv your poem, and its purple reference song

   much love

   • Purple is the perfect song

3. I had forgotten how lyrical I find your poetry to be. This is beautiful, and also sad and haunting.

   • Thank you, that is high praise

4. Some people are like that in our lives. Just a purple haze of worry and depression! Well done.

   • Indeed… and sometimes we are the ones worrying

     • yes, that too!

5. This is wonderful! I love the referenced song too…

   • Two of my favorite songs are both purple.

6. Purple Haze, Purple Haze now you have me singing. Poetic vision of sadness.

   • I know it should be purple rain but, I like the sound of purple haze(d) as in your title.

     • I started with purple rain, and somehow ended up with purple haze

7. This one hits close to home. I’m going through a drizzle stage at the moment… 😢

   • I actually went the other way recently…

     • Takes the highs when they come along 👍

8. Bjorn you’ve created a wonderful, dreamy, Jimi Hendrix-tinged piece, I love the interplay between warmth, distance, and blurry perception 💜

   • From Prince to Hendrix

     • Yes perfect 🤩

9. In my myopic gaze
   your drizzled apparition —
   is purple to my failing eyes

   Great opening Bjorn! Prince’s rendering of Purple Rain is a bonus choice, perfect!

12. Stunning — poem and accompanying painting.
