A Brand New Eye

Member since 2003 · Posted 12 Jul 2003 · 5 comments

The pursuit of virtue is a dance wherein one must be clear and vague at once. A well-determined abstract gives rise to emotion by reflecting the real with A BRAND NEW EYE. I suffer my mundane hours by the bushel, by the cord for an instant of ecstasy that is the virtue of art.

third verse is the best, a pleasant read

I like the last stanza -'mundane hours by the bushel' is great - this is unusually abstract and philosophical (but given stanza 2 maybe that's the point) - very interesting

Thank you for your comments on my poems. You're very kind and I'm glad you liked them 'cos they were the last flwoering of a creative spurt that's dried up a bit - I'm hoping more will come. If some damn fool publisher ever decides to make a book of mine, I'll send you a copy. Don't hold your breath though...
