Art/Poetry Mash-Up: Bird and Book

A paean to learning, and birds.

Bird and Book

.
The Eye . . .

—

And . . the beak

—

Came
Checking . . .

—

On the page . . –

—

Peeking . . to see . .
What?

—

For if a
Mere bird

—

Could
Unlatch the treasures

—

What

—

Could a man do?????

—

Neverthe . . . less

—

It Is a fact

—

A
Bird can act

—

AS
Tho
It were . . . . .

—

Highly
Intelligent

—

And
Who
Is
To
Say?

—

So . . . .

—

Peck
Away!

Creative! I really like this combination of poem and painting. The poem is in an unusual structure, and I think it works well — it compelled me to keep reading. This year, I’ve tried to give poetry and painting (among other things) a shot — so it’s neat to see someone else mixing it up. Nice stuff.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Bruce will be glad to hear it!

Nice job over at Zooky World — your designs are very cool and I especially like “This poem ate (poem 34).”
