Art forms, forms of art

are they part of a personal mystery?

Expression or explanation?

Statements of rebellion or frustration?

Pastel shades on canvas: life forms

Pottery in slate grey and terracotta

Tangled ironwork, challenging logic

Listed buildings, standing profound

Victorian factory chimney razed to the ground

Music through the ages, captivating,

Enthralling, exciting, mesmerising, hypnotising

Scribing on parchment, poetry writing

Novels, history, printing press revealing

Treading the boards, music halls, mime

Cinema, cutting room floor, lauded actors

Amateur dramatics, the Directors chair

Royal ballet, upper circle, monacles peering

Tightrope walking, trapeze, tragic clown

The beautiful game, penalty shootouts

Manic depressed comic genius

Art forms, forms of art.  Memories in part
