From beneath the mask
I bear inconsistency
Whence all conflict comes
What is colorful
We see tinted, different
And thus colorless
Only in contrast
Unseen, unlooked-for, is truth
And we are the same

- Comment from author about the poem: For those who care to look, read Theosophy, by Rudolph Steiner. Then, look to the fourth page of Art and Scholastic Magazine "Franz Marc, working with color." Volume 40, No. 2 See what you find there.

Love the Haiku. The first is my favorite. I did not know of Franz Mark. I googled him and he had a style that is more apealing to me than most of the "cubists" I love his horses.
Thanks! A lot of my poems are inspired by art.. Franz Marc was one of the founders of Expressionism, but he borrowed heavily from Cubist technique-- one of the reasons his style is so enchanting. He was also a leading member of the artistic movement, "Der Blaue Reiter," which influenced a lot of other famous Expressionists..
His horses are, indeed, lovely..
