Comment from Dawnya

Excellent

When I read this news story about an artist's work auto-shredding, I wondered why. I considered that it might a comment about the ephemeral nature of art or the inability to contain or truly own art. Your explanation is very interesting and plausible. Regardless, this is a very well written poem and obviously very thought-provoking.

I have heard about this story. A beautiful painting by Banksy, shredded the moment it was sold at auction. It perplexed me, to destroy art seems a waste. But I like this theory, by destroying the painting he is actually sending a powerful message of lost innocence. Maybe that's it! Personally I think it was just a spectacle but then I have trouble seeing the deeper meaning in things sometimes. This is very well written and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing!

Hello author
I see that each of your sedoka poems have the same subject with different perspectives.
Your first sedoka I understand about the child's innocence the second sedoka, I don't know what the gavel of the auctioneer means?

A very well-written Sedoka. Children love balloons and can play with it for hours. When they are popped by accident it feels for the child that he/she lost a friend for life.

I was following your meaning up until the auctioneer's gavel. I understand the syllable count and can't rhyme, so you wrote a Sedoka. I just don't understand the last line. Good luck in the contest.

Innocence changes with the passage of time in a girl, within the steps of age, and gives a shape of a bright joyous balloon heart with love and it never turns worthless at one's remark only; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Ha, a most subtle message of selling one's innocence for lies, author. Floating lies seems to be in vogue these days, and of the course the auctioneer's gavel can also be a judge's gavel.

Super sedoka and I wish you much luck in the booths. :)

Hello Mystery Writer,
All for a moment of ...what? Brilliance? Deviance? Notoriety? I watched the video. A couple of times. And all I was left with was a feeling of emptiness. A waste of beauty.

Your Sedoka is anything but a waste. Kudos. And best wishes.
