CAGE AND CREED

Michael Edwards

CAGE: 4 minutes 33 seconds

The silent wind and string

to which I listened

in mute admiration

and eagerly awaited

the next performance

heard in silence.

 

 

 

CREED: Work No 227

In changing light

with eyes wide open

I slowly enter

the empty room,

alone,

a work of art

I view unseen.

  • Comment from author about the poem: If you are not familiar with the work of these two artists you may wish to look them up. Cage 'wrote' a piece of music in which the instruments remained silent whist Creed exhibited a piece of work which consisted of an empty room. The piece of art which I painted last year is called Cyclate.

    Work of art is a matter of fact and faith. Most of your thoughts are 'unseen' yet you have that faith to communicate the fact you have not seen. Bravo that is a nice poem.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks for your comments - you summarise it so well.

                    I was not familiar with either and did look them up. Being more a traditionalist, it was not my thing. However your tribute to them is outstanding. Sunnyde M's comment is profund.

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Both these artists made a great impact in the UK although not all of complimentary. Thanks so much Augustus for your gracious comments.
