It seemed to me
A notion
A time to reflect
On the nature of looking
And what we actually see
With our eyes
Feel
with our hearts
was it an ancient city
or dusty mother-boards
the artist tricked us
once again
into believing what
wasn’t real
and we’re so grateful
for the opportunity
to be fooled
by one so gifted
what the lie
taught us
was not so much
what to see
but
how to look.

wow, jyme, what an outpouring of poems... I'm wondering what painting or artwork inspired this one or if you even remember?
I forget how much poetry means to me . . .
