Sculpture

Sculpture

From behind paper has this face come?

Or from face are there papers some?

No hairs, no ears no expression though,

Few seeds of joy shall I plant or sow?

 

Why a part of his manly face he hid?

Is he like this from when he was a kid?

I know not why he was sculpted this way,

Maybe this has something else to say!

 

Why had this man closed his eyes?

Maybe he thought it was better or wise?

Has he any family or friends?

Or does this way his life ends?

 

How on earth can a man be like this?

Ever so silent, calm and in bliss,

Only can a sculpture stay so still

For real man cannot and never will.

Once again you have managed to bring forth a stunner. Imagery was top-notch and I so loved the pic that went with it. They bonded so perfectly together that it looked like they were made for each other.. Bravo!!

Did you see this picture and then write the poem? Or was the perfect picture just out there? Either way very interesting, thought provoking poem. Nicely done.

This is unlike any poem I've read before, it was interesting and had a quirky sense of life to it. It had a good rhyme scheme and I could picture what you were talking about in my head. You have a way with words, and you did very well :) Bravo.
