New York Poems III (Art Installation)

Missing image
Clockwise revolving mirrors
Counter clockwise tinted perspex
Conspire with radiant white light
Constantly changing the room with
Colourful pastel hues.

A woman alone with her shadow 
Attention abstracted
Agile fingers
Answering in abbreviations
Almost oblivious to passing rainbows.

Framed by a fleeting shutter
Fixed as a pixelated muse
You and your patient shadow
Forever part of this artist’s imagination.


Author notes

    I loved this poem ...

    because of its poetic demonstration of how passion is the entirety of senses.



    Stunning photo. Did you take it?

      Yes I took the photo in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. It was only when I got home that I realised the poetry in it.

    I found this poem truly endearing, what a way to compliment another person. I also enjoyed the line
    "Almost oblivious to passing rainbows."
    The imagery in this piece is outstanding, truly. Well done and I look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you for sharing,

    Interesting format, almost a pleiades chain! I like the journey I am on in this read. Especially the final four lines, where it seals the woman in time so wonderfully. Very nicely done!

      As I’m in a RedAquarius sort of mood, I must stop by here and thank you for your kind comments.
      This is the first poem where I’ve moved away from straight narrative and I enjoyed it.
      Writing poetry has opened rooms within my consciousness that I never knew existed.

      Life is good,
      Love, Peter
