I've heard it said
that painting's dead.
If so who will fashion
those images of passion
that grace our walls.
Do all those pictures
come to nought.
I would have thought
That they were worth
The contemplation
that they bring to bear
for all who care
to sit and muse.
And find their juices stimulated
No, that is true not over rated
Surely it is not absurd to
Try to capture in a word a
title that describes a feeling
that one image represents.
I don't remember who said
That painting's dead
It isn't.
Is it?
