I like to think I can appreciate art
no matter the form
but when it doesn’t conform
to my view of the norm
there’s a flutter in my heart

and I don’t know if it’s distaste or awe
or a mixture of the pair
affecting me down there
insisting that I stare
into that great unfathomed maw.

    I love how you blurred the lines of how one feels when they look at art!
    It does stir the emotions, wakes the senses or shuts them down~
    Interesting view...I enJOYed it!

    Bob,

    I guess everyone is moved or motivated by seeing different things in a piece of art. Sometimes it amazes me just what is considered to be art, or extremely valuable either...

    I think abstract art is just that - it appeals to certain people and you appreciate what you think you see ~
