As you say Willow many of us have uttered these words at some time or other and the poem is more about what we see and what we say more than a criticism of anybody in particular! Another funny one is when we see, for example, a beautiful sky and say 'it's lovely, like a picture'...but of course it's the picture that's like it! We know that but we still say it...or some of us do...<br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-22375332424593376332009-10-05T14:40:41.694+01:002009-10-05T14:40:41.694+01:00This poem is great.

Sometimes I've said the second one when I've been stuck for something to say about a painting but have felt I had to say something! As for the first...people say it all the time and I'm sure I'm included in that.<br /><br />Talking about art is hard...it can be either too poncey for words or just inane (I wrote a bit about my relationship with visual art a year ago - back <a href="http://crowd-pleasers.blogspot.com/2008/09/visually-elsewhere.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>...it's something I'm often thinking about). It's hard to find your way at times as a viewer/looker. It's been on my mind because I'm reading 'Nude' by Nuala NĂ ChonchĂșir and there is lots about visual art in there. It's a great book (a collection of short stories - see <a href="http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/smf/9781844716425.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>). <br /><br />And yes, Titus, the holidays are upon us. I've got preparations for poetry night on Friday this week and then off to Eng-er-land next.<br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-3836525640942724392009-10-05T11:15:26.547+01:002009-10-05T11:15:26.547+01:00I do like this alot Rachel, simply put, and such a...I do like this alot Rachel, simply put, and such a funny and true insight.
