LANTURNES by THREE
A
shower
of incense,
like gentle rain,
soothes.
Words
written
when exposed
to the hot sun
fade.
Was
Adam
embarrassed
by the autumn
fall ?
The Lanturne is a five-line verse shaped like a
Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one,
two, three, four, one.

Thanks Andy
A

Michael,
I love that sculpture and the write! I thought of three of my own. I hope they can keep yours company!
~Laura~
Brilliant Laura - you really must post them here in the gallery.
.
Pleased you like the sculpture - it looks good in a modern home and is about 18ins long. I could charge (and get) a fortune if it was cast in bronze but being wood it's not so desirable - I've got to put a price on it ready for an open studio event next weekend.
Thank you for the inspiration, Michael!
If I post them, would they make any sense without yours?
I suppose it will be very difficult to put a price on the sculpture! After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Maybe you should auction it off.
yes of course they would - they all stand in their own right - look forward to seeing them in the gallery.
If the sculpture was in bronze by an established artist it could fetch anything from £2 to £3000 (gallery price) but being in wood it would be more in the range £250 to £350 - but I doubt if it would achieve even that in a local auction.
A fine write and pic Michael. Or in one case, in no poetic form:
A shower of incense at church
Covered us in a cloud
Couldn't see a thing
Brought on an asthma attack
For some poor soul
Sitting too near the front
And got the full blast of the incense!
It was hymn in the second row sitting next to Carol Singer - Sir Mon I think his name is. Lol 🙂
You seen Carol Singer? Why we only see her at Christmas?! hmmm.
🙂
Wow ... and your 2nd verse and your sculpture are perfect together..........
Thanks so much Lorna - I'll be posting another sculpture picture tomorrow and about to finish off a third one. The sun is streaming into the garden at the moment but I've got a heavy cold and the sun on my head will probably make my headache worse. They call it Sod's Law!!
Love the verse and sculpture Michael. I'd take the wood version over the bronze and not because it was less $$. I believe it to be worth more as the original piece.
Thanks AP - pity the market place doesn't recognise the beauty of wood. I.ve just been looking through one of Christies catalogues of small bronze pieces coming up for auction and the guide prices are staggering.
Bronze might have the buyers eye right now Michael, But I believe the natural qualities of wood will resurface and you'll do much better with your sculpture. It deserves more.
Thanks MIKE for lighting the LANTURNES for us today ~ Lovely form ~ lovely trio !
Adam was a silly man
He gets no pardoner
Cos he was a GARDENER
He should have known
Life of a LEAF in the Fall is brief !
Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN !

Cheers Paul
