I'm on a roll with your work today! Really like this one. I love to stand in front of a work of art that attracts me and drown in it. Your few lines expressed this feeling perfectly.

Excellent little Tanka. Your carefully selected words present a clear dichotomy as to how people view and apprciate art. Some view art very superficially. in a rush and never truly appreciate the art for what it is or what it represents. While others, more "wise" take in art in its most basic form (raw) and truly appreciate the depth and meaning the artist so meticuluosly created. Great piece. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Alcreator Writer,
This one almost reads like an intrustion. Though I think amost everyone can see the beauty in art, not just the 'wise' to see beauty where none was intended though, now that is a trick.
I'm not sure I liked the luminous colour of this one, but I realise your effort was to make this one jump from the page.
Again, this is an interesting and thought provoking Ttanka,

Perception, the way of looking at things, aesthetic sense, an eye for the extraordinary on the one side and a blind eye on the other, all seem to have been captured so beautifully.
Thanks for sharing.

Love it..it took me a few reads to "get it" which is one of the things I like about it! When poetry makes me think, I like it all the more.
Great job on the tanka structure. You do it so well...
Enjoyed it! Bravo!

Such bright colors~ they match perfectly with the bold messge you have written! Nice choice!
I'm a big fan of "short and to the point", so this is a winner for me.

Hi Alcreator,
How interesting! I have just written a poem about a graffiti artist called Banksy, who managed to get into a prestigious art gallery and put up a picture of a low cost baked bean label. He said that people stopped, looked, and left looking confused and a bit cheated - just like modern art! You have said the same thing but in a slightly different way here. Good, strong shorty. Full of meaning which is clearly penned.

The structure is perfectly correct. I can't quite figure the message, but you know I have a problem with your poetry. Just me probably.

You know I believe its difficult to capture a concept in just a few lines. But you've done it in this simple poem. This one has a nice flow and is easy to understand. I am happy you supple the meaning for me. This way I realize weather I got it or not....
