Humanity

“A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.”
(With thanks to Sir Terry Pratchett)


Art is ephemeral
It is in the mind of the beholder;
It is balance, it is asymmetry.
Art is finely crafted,
it is roughly hewn.
Art is fleeting, art is permanent;
it is brightly coloured or darkling greys.
Art is bold crescendos.
It is minor chords,
it is minstrel’s lute.
It is Rhapsody in Blue.
Art is soaring spires,
it is a cottage in a glen.
Art is couplets, it is pirouettes,
It is soliloquies
It is rap.
Art is neatly worded on an ink stained page.
