This Is Not Art Poem by Mark E Webster

This is Not Art

Paint pictures of the future
Using colours of the past
Compose melodies of forever
Using sounds that will not last
Sculpt statues of the famous
Using ordinary clay
Fashion luminescent nightwear
Using fabrics of the day
Take photos of the instant
Using long exposure times
Draw interlocking circles
Using straight and separate lines
Conduct harmonising choirs
Using those who cannot sing
Write meaningful poetry
Using words that mean nothing
