This abstract art poem, Spinning Twisting Turning, captures the essence above, around, beside, beneath, and inside the of the artist's concept.

Yes it's interesting - the questions posed here in this Abstract Art poem - we are social beings essentially and having quite similar experiences on life's journey - though we can so often feel isolated and alone

This humans enigmatic dolorous subject treated has been well written, set and counted within its three questioning rhymed stanzaic structural format throughout its daily polluted questioning and unanswerable narrative storylined content. A good work and I liked it but the answer, my friend, is still blowing in the wind.

    Alchera, and yes the mystery is that is still blowing in the wind...and sometime we are downwind of the dung heap more than not.

Hello anon, I think what you say is correct. In our lowest moments we all do feel that way. But we are all individuals and all of the things you mention are unique to each of us. We think, feel and see the same things but differently. Your poem is well written and makes the reader think which is good. I enjoyed your work and wish you Good Luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

What form is t his? (is it a form?) I like it very much, the changes you make between each stanza, until at least you're inside the globe and things are different. I love the word usage in that last stanza. swirl/twirl. wobble/hobble. and the asonance of spinning, twisting, which leaves the tongue feeling the twist.

    Hi Darlene, this is a poetic style my own design,
    A modifying refrain, following by a repeated refrain, coupled with a/a/a/a/ stanza

    Those self-designed ones can be the best!

This sounds like the carousel of life, the merry-go-round that keeps on moving and we never get off if until we die, the battle continues and we call it life. There is fun in between though, I enjoyed your description of this fine art, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

I think this poem has above average musical and rhythmic elements and that's why i'm giving it a six. I love that 'Spinning, twisting, turning globe' line, and the repetitions, with slight alterations, create this great minimalistic effect of gradual change or a of a top spinning in one place. I loved the last stanza too; that was the most musical one of them all. the top spins on and on and on. There's a good theme here too; that none of us is really that special, that we all have to deal with these struggle of life on this spinning globe of ours. estory

Good one for the twirling art work. I didn't know where to find these abstract pieces to write to - I guess just from fanstory art - but how to make them come alone - oh well - you did a great job. I like the repetition of the first line.

I very much liked the way you wrote this poem, taking us through all sides of the spinning, twisting, turning, globe. Thinking we are the only one who is going through all that. Well done, this is an excellent abstract art poem. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx
