Notes About The Poem

Fragile Beauty

More brilliantly created than any paper mache' pinata
Colors bolder than a rainbow's sweeping arches of light
It's a delicate symphony performing a beautiful sonata
A magnificent sculpture is sweet eye candy in my sight

Colors bolder than a rainbow's sweeping arches of light
Blown glass balloons of a clown, twisted into curlyques
A magnificent sculpture is sweet eye candy in my sight
Intricately delectible is this fragile piece in glorious hues

Blown glass balloons of a clown, twisted into curlyques
This Chuhuly artwork spills its treasures from overhead
Intricately delectible is this fragile piece in glorious hues
A feast for artists whose insatiable hunger must be fed

This Chuhuly artwork spills its treasures from overhead
It's a delicate symphony performing a beautiful sonata
A feast for artists whose insatiable hunger must be fed
More brilliantly created than any paper mache' pinata

Love your work, Lin! But I have a faster way: 7/12/17. Lol. And you thought I was talking about the pantoum then? Very smooth and aesthetically pleasing too.

I thought you meant a faster way to blow glass. I thought I'd be a titch more artistic with the date in this one...the beauty of Dale Chuhuly almost demands it. Thanks Wolf.

Always a joy to read your poems, Lin. Exquisitely crafted much like the blown glass artwork you describe.

This was wonderful Lin. So beautifully you have captured the essence of the art piece and expressed its brilliance and wonder in a fine poetic way. I have seen some of this work in Las Vegas I believe at the Bellagio. It is amazing work, just like your poem.
