On Sculpture
There were some wonderful poems on sculpture-- how lucky am I? We had this one from IPLawGuy (about a trip we made to West Texas):
Big Field in Alpine
Full of Metal Gates and doors
To where do they lead?

And one from Des (and I kinda wanna see this sculpture):
Giant colorful
roadrunner looks down on me.
I lunch in his shade.

And another from IPLawGuy:
Round metal helix?
W&M Swem field
It is Oliver.

And from Christine:
Oxford England
Dogs and Scholars grace the tops
of campus buildings.

And from IPLawGuy, who was kind of in the zone:
Sculptures make you think
Memorialize or praise
Or perhaps question.

And from anonymous (describing another one I want to see):
Only a metal
Door,they enter,unaware—
There is no airplane.
Door,they enter,unaware—
There is no airplane.
