BLINDSIGHTED DAVID HOCKNEY AT THE RA-RA-ROYAL ACADEMY. A POEM.
DAVID HOCKNEY AT THE RA-RA-ROYAL ACADEMY.
-------------------------
David Hockney at the RA-RA-Royal Academy
oh my what a surprise
'neath teeming pretty-pretty
colourful flowery landscapes,
tree's 'n' endless open skies
hauntingly something was totally missing
'tho I strained 'n' strained my eyes.
------------------------
Telecommunications masts were painted in
'n' even a parked-up van
in one rural town
but not in any tree or field
or across wide open sunny skies
one single bird flew around.
On Hockney's somewhat sterile landscapes
ah ha there's still work to do
-------------------------
'n' no sign of even bird nests
amid endless trees galore.
Not a single goat or even a sheep
or a grazing horse or two
not even a single butterfly
my doubtful mindset shaded blue.
--------------------
Biblical Animals made a brief appearence
in THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
Ah but maybe the RA-RA-Royals went along
to the Academy Pre-view
with their Purdey shooters 'n' beaters for fun
'n' did for all the missing creatures
like so many times over years an' years
they've oh so RA-RA-Royally done!!

(Note - there were 300 plus landscapes etc., on view).

In preference give me AMY STEWART's beautifully insightful earthworms study
"THE EARTH MOVED".

I.C. after a 13 February 2012 disappointing R.A. visit.
