Tower of the Blue Horses ( after Franz Marc)

a poem about a picture, and a painter

Four of stained glass and stars

all leftglance beyond ratio or air,

thin as tissue but strong

as a pastel visa; fated curves

guide your hand, voices drag you

into mud and steal the day.

"thin as tissue but strong

as a pastel visa"

what an eloquent oxymoron!

A wonderful expression of an expression! Fantastic imagery Leslie, you always impress :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I had to Google him Leslie but how exceptionally well you express his art and his death in a wonderful piece of art of your own!

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for looking at this..this poem nearly killed me, I re-wrote it at least ten times !

[John Alexander McFadyen]

But you are a master of epigrammatic poetry Leslie. Sometimes art is hard and painful?
