ART WATCHING ART

ART WATCHING ART

My gift to you .. I take your arm

Into god's gallery .. we steel

Nine Caravaggios do swoon!

To see such creativities

I watch you watch how they smirk back

For you are Nature's living art

For your creation sparks alive

Stir art to breathing sighing craves

To be! your creativiti's

Forked inspiration striking home, home, home, home

You make tame art hung round us wild!

My name's one Caravaggio

O! O! O! O! what art is this?

Raised up in your dark talent's .. kiss

So an old Maltese knight finds his way into an art gallery. That sounds like a beginning to a joke. This is the second poem I've read today with a reference to Caravaggio. The odd fellow certainly had an eventful life stalking streets with a sword on his hip, full of wine and challenging all for a fight. He killed a man in a duel over a tennis match wager once. But he died a pitiful death in the end. I'm familiar with his paintings but he's not a favorite artist of mine. His life history was more interesting than his paintings I believe. But he certainly loved the dark, shadowed visage in his art as much as in his life so I found the closing lines most apropos.

' You make tame art hung round us wild!~ My name's one Caravaggio '

There are words for a poem like this.. Unique, Spell-binding! You take Wonder on a walk, allow it to regard its glories.. watching its every reaction then.. then know it understands too well that art becomes Art when it creates the reflection of imagination, reality and skill - as near as.

To wander a gallery with the master himself, I wonder what he would have made of our art of today... As you say, Tame!
Beautiful!

An exciting piece, thrilling. A work of art in its self.

We can never hope to match the Creator, but oh, how we strive.

Love both the gallop along pace and your exquisite use of our so expressive language.
