This poem flows well. I do not understand what exactly it is saying though.
This line I do not understand.
"Fools' heaven dark water words "

I don't know but like I said it did flow well and the beginning of the poem was going well for me you just lost me in the end.

A nice form used to good effect. The brevity make the author use quick, flickering images to string together a complex idea. Very successful outing.

Very clever poem with the minimum amount of words with the maximum amount of message.

The key for me is the wink, which in my opinion Alcreator is trying to say
'to show a microcosm of appreciation'
and not fully understand what an artist is communicating, and that only the wise fully appreciate an artists message and not just the 'colour, flavour, life, times'.

I could be completely wrong but I do not care because this is the interpretation that suits me.

Fantastic poem.

ALCREATOR WRITER: Just read your "Artist!" (Tanka 5,7,5,7,7 Wise re-views, others view timely!) and I too, "come, view, leave with Fools' heaven dark water words" - Well Done!

We view and interpret all that is displayed. Artwork reveals a myriad of descriptions
for all to analyze. Will your expression tell it all, or just lament all beauty and great depth and meaning. The author tells us to view as it is presented.( In the raw) I like the boldness and direct verbalization. The background evokes a quick response and serious tone. I encourage other Fanstory readers to view this wonderful write.

Ok.. what the hell is a Tanka? lol.. I haven't a clue.. However, I do know that this was a cleverly written piece. I thought your words painted a vivid picture and analogy of the viewer of art.

So many people miss the beauty in art because they are used to or in tune to "The easy look, or the status quo" I liked the second line and last the most.

Enjoyed your writ. Great job! snitz :0)

Fast paced, kicked me in the face. I don't even know what the hell a tanka is, man; but I enjoyed this piece nontheless. The last two lines are my favorite.

Fools heaven dark watery words .....is 8 syllables

[Fools] [hea] [ven] [dark] [wa] [ter] [y] [words] ==8syllables

Otherwise this is a very nice little poem. Good word form and usage. Change one of the syllables in the fourth line and it will be perfect. Thanks for sharing. Sharon

I liked the first line in particular. It makes me see a rush forward. The imagery was great! I could half see what you were trying to convey. Nice message too. Good feel overall. Nice one!
