Cultural Canons

CULTURAL CANONS
sophisticated wit
expressiveness
  & tricks of the eye
illusions
    out of the blue
  shadows in the sky
a paradox
this sense of irony
      naivete
observed
made manifest
decorative &agreeable

 influential
hierarchies
  artistically distinct
 mainstream
but
separately identified
    in formative influence
inherent vagaries
          of taste
subtle&telling
in
  perspectives
      .of pictorial space
 &
receding
  lines of audacity
in heavenly light
emergency
   to revere

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
