Found Object

Objet Trouve*

diverse assortment of art
on the stoop, enticing allure
bright clay pottery
welded lawn ornaments
photographs and paintings

             inside the gallery
             traveler's treasure trove
     
             time slows, snail-like
             eyes dining, sumptuous feed

walls, steps, tables
crowded with creations
eloquently speak
     the artist's message
snagging emotions
     louder than words

son's poetry penned
     honoring father's sketch
childhood memory
     treasured tree house

Thank you for stopping by to read, Robert. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I never knew, until your comment, that I had actually succeeded in creating that atmosphere. Thanks for taking the time to tell me. Much appreciated.
