Artwork - What Am I

Scratching their heads They look at me Am I a tree stump Am I a grotesque face Inside I am laughing I know what I am. Am a freak of nature Plus the imaginative mind Of my master Stand back see the root of me My ivy hair Sightless eyes Garland of lemons garnish my neck I am singular A one off piece of art I am me ....symbolising winter. The flash of cameras Light my wrinkled face Can feel the warmth of inquisition Words float by as voices are raised Conclusion ...no conclusion. Giuseppe Arcimbodo painting .....Winter 1573 Penned Aug 26 2017 Artwork Contest Judged: 9/6/2017 9:32:00 PM
