    Interesting poem Daryl. I am not familar with Malevich’s work but your poem has caught my interest and I wish to learn more.

    I shall look at modern and contemporary art a little differently now………true art reveals a little something of the artist’s soul, so I think your poem has a more profound message resting in between its lines.

    Nice work——congrats on getting it published.

    thanks for reading tina.

    just because a painting is not representational, doesn’t mean it has nothing to say. hope it opens up unexplored avenues for you.

    Do I detect a double image on this set of hearts? Lazy-boy and Multiply monkeys?
