PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

edges and angles
art forms
for the avid eyes
to skate across and over
looking always just beyond
the mere construct
Pollack scrambled the masses
basting, blending and butchering
his colors
scarring corneas
with what seemed like
his abstract carelessness
ad nauseam
via their forced translation of
his talent to the viewing brain
the art world withheld from him
the fame of exposure for his genius
until they awoke from their own
prejudices to realize
he could never be white potatoes
all the way
his own personal art perspective began
as that spicy dish only a few would have
the stomach to try
and with the emergence of
splash color intellect
middle grounders found themselves
jammed shoulder to shoulder
with critics and novice spectators alike
the art world grudgingly unfolded itself
alas to stand up right eventually
and enthusiastically applaud
'The Naked Genius'
that was, is and always shall be
Jackson Pollock.....................
