art

What will the critics say?

‘Light as air?’

‘Heart achingly delicate?’

‘The empty spaces speak volumes?’

‘The curves of the piece glide effortlessly?’

The milk boils over

Forming an ephemeral sculpture

Of light, delicate, empty bubbles

Framed by the microwave window

What will the critics say?




P.S Happy new year everyone!

The critics will ponder over how the ephemerality of the bubbles represents the transience of life....and applaud the wisdom and inner eye of the *artist* :))

I believe the most appropriate one should be: If you lament over wasted time and effort, you really are crying over spilt milk. On the other hand, if you lament and cry, that too belting out great big acidic drops of the essence of lacrimae, then you will be crying over split milk. Needless to say, if you blubber and froth it will be spitl milk too. I could go on about how saffron really is the pistil of some orchid, but that would be stipl'ing the joke too far ...

Might critics say "Argh, I hate it when poetry has to be cleaned up after"? :)

TCC - Whether this is poetry or not is up to you! And yes, I think a nice, shiny milk cooker is in order!

apu - :) thank you (and those are very good critic-ish words may i add)

m&ms - I think you know that I don;t cry and only blub - though some people have been known to stop the blubbing by sticking bits of appalam in their mouth and pretending to be a papad dracula

shyam - the critics may!

Ur the second blogging copywriter I've discovered while waiting (for 2+ hrs) for my art director to decide which justification to use. Had a few good laughs going through your posts!!

Who cares about what the critics say as long as you keep writing / creating.
