Rhombuses Poems | Examples

Constantin Brancusi's "the Column Without End"

There once was a man who talked to the stone
Calming down all its fears of being alone
They spent all his life synchronized into shape
At one point - both realized there was no escape

"I'll turn you into a "Bird", "A Silent Muse"and a "Kiss"
and so many sculptures..." - the artist promised -
"I'll give you myself "...  So he used all his talent
Thus carving immortality -  "The Column Without End"

Erected in Romania -  reminder of his roots
The cycle of life in rhombuses salutes
The Heavens from which Brancusi looks down
At his "Gate",  "Silent Table" and his old, native town.
