Smart Art

Updated: Aug 23, 2025

Sunbaked stucco home glows golden in the late summer looming.

Fall colors are coming, yet summer flowers remain -- sparsely blooming.

Autumn colored clouds move from the west, pushing the bright summer clouds away,

Making way for shorter and cooler days.

 

Interpretation of this two-dimensional piece of primitive art

            can range from dull to clever and smart.

All the children are taking siestas

to stay up late for tonight’s fiesta.

The old man is borrowing a bench, so he and his lady-friend

can sit and watch the festival to the end.

A woman is looking out a window getting some air

and admiring the handsome old man dragging a chair.

 

Balanced vibrant summer and fall colors provide a poet with many directions.

Clean lines and clear focal points are inspirations.

Summer clouds smartly placed on the house add intrigue to multiple

   interpretations.

This art can take the viewer anywhere worldly and is puzzle-worthy

 with the best of intentions.
