    Thanks so much for the excellent review and for all your comments supporting this little poem. It's really a celebration of abstraction, of the ideal in art, and I wanted to make a collage of musical, visual, theatrical and dance elements to create it. estory

Hi there, this is a wonderful collage of words and images you've written in this unusual free style poem. You made the objects of art become very alive. I liked it a lot. All the best. Ulla:))

Good morning again, estory: I could picture this piece of art as I read this descriptive piece. It sounds so lovely and I tired to see it in my mind's eye. It looks gorgeous enough to purchase but it would possibly be expensive. Good job on the imagery, great job.

    Thank you so much for the excellent review and for all your comments supporting this poem. It is a celebration of abstraction, an abstraction of fragmented imagery and intertwined sound that adds up to a collage of an ideal of beauty. I aimed for a graceful effect and hopefully it came through in the poem estory

I did see the mental images as pages turning in my mind. Well written verse that leads the reader to follow you through connected flashes of thought. Good job.

Evocative imagery and an exotic sense achieved with the German and Italian words for the Moonlight Sonata and for that most beautiful movement of shadows shifting over a sculpture, producing a mottled effect. 'Pirouette', I think, has only one 'r'. How well it amplifies the word image of the figure of eight, and how cleverly you turn it whimsically into a Pierrot!

Your poem is an artistic approach to describing art. And yes, even paper mache counts as art.
Well done and thank you for sharing this interesting piece with us.

Estory,

I imagine these things you mention in your poem are lovely. Unfortunately, your descriptions are so vague and obscure that I can't get a clear picture of any of these items! *smile* I'll have to take your word for how lovely they all are. Thanks so much!

    Thanks so much for the excellent review and for you comments supporting the poem. I deliberately kept it obtuse, I meant this as a celebration of abstraction, of an ideal of beauty in art. estory

I like this style of free verse :) I got the images in my head. Except for, "Mondscheinsonat". I don't know what that is. I'll have to google it. I like short free verse as my attention span isn't good at times. I'm learning the more time I spend on this site, but it's not something I care to write. Welcome back to the site. I don't think I ever met you or your writing. Looking forward to reading more of your work.

    Thanks for the excellent review and for your comments supporting this piece. Mondscheinsonat, or Moonlight sonata by Beethoven. I tried to weave together elements of sculpture, music, dance and visual art in this celebration of abstraction and ideal beauty in art estory

    I love Beethoven piano music and know that piece well. Just didn't recognize it when not in English. Slapping my forehead for that lol!
