Artistically Tragic

there's a bewildering flow
of muddled elements
a midst an enduring glow
of befuddled contents
               a character emerges
               with a mystifying physique
               and bizarrely foolish urges
               amplified by the artist's technique
thrust into a shocking story line
sent on an insane mission
to accomplish something divine
and fulfill the writer's vision
              the anatomy of this character
              clashes with the background
              creating an extravagant disaster
              unlike any ever found
in the mystical land of story time
within the magical universe
of rhythm and rhyme
oh so tragic is this verse

Wow, I just read your other poem "Indulgent imagination" and now this, it seems like two sides of the coin...flip it and see where it lands. This was fantastic Christy. The two poems are like a good vs. evil saga and I loved them both.
