A challenge to unravel,

and easy to dismiss,

modern art might be strange,

but it is art, all the same.

It might be worth the effort

to spend a little time,

seeking hidden meanings,

that might or might not be there.

A kind of visual nonsense,

astonishing to see.

Yet another masterpiece

illustrating randomness.

There must be meaning somewhere,

in every work of art.

If only I could see it,

I'd have nothing more to say.

In an age of tolerance,

a fuss is not allowed.

Lovers of diversity

enjoy variety.

Written art is similar.

It's just as difficult

to sculpt meaning out of words, 

as to paint it with colours.
