Day 4: Angles

Progressive Boink's "Daily Drawing Experiment." Current theme is illustrating all of the poems I wrote for a college Poetry Writing course.

 

My second poem for the class and probably the one that went over the best.

 

"Angles"

 

a slipshod sculpture of poorly-welded and rusty metal

in a case by the door

not on display

but ogled nonetheless

by bespectacled connoisseurs of nothing but their own opinions

who cluck their tongues

and tell you

what is and

what isn't

artful

while they whittle away their turpentine-saturated existences

watching
