Poetry: Modern art

by Nancy Browne

Created on: March 27, 2010



A Challenged Stretch



I imagine sometimes

That I am abstract

One line connecting another

Circles and dots

Dividing parts

Triangles and squares intertwined

Until nothing can be deciphered


The absence of anything real

A flowing symbol

Structured in color that thrives to be

Designed with no real intention

Outlined and planned with skilled manner

Layers upon layers mass-produced


An awful lot of something

Colors and more colors

With none of them blending

A blueprint conceived for a purpose

Something on a drawing board

Gone crazy


A weave of the soul’s gears

The heart’s chaotic wires

The mind in tipsy-turvy

The bone of a feather

After its been picked

The hub of shock and after shock

A prototype in dream of victory


A vortex shape

Possibly an authentic piece of leather

Engraved and never used

An electrified fence

Rusted with no voltage

A wishing well gone dry

With nothing of substance to fill it


And in the corner

A sign that reads:

“just testing”
