Leaving the Tate Comments

5 Stars Full for this lovely poem, Congratulations being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day.

2) Formerly, her early work was influenced by her training as a classicist but her more recent work is looser in structure and more concerned with the world of the unconscious mind.Very interesting to know these about the great poetess.

1) Adcock's poetry is typically concerned with themes of place, human relationships and everyday activities, but frequently with a dark twist given to the mundane events she writes about.

Art multiplies itself. Art's whatever you choose to frame.............how truest! Congratulations on being chosen for so many times last 8 June and today. The 8 June 2019. A very keen observation on any landscape the poetess saw. Another museum? Then we can read another Masterpiece here. Any museum will do, the poetess does it! Her observational ability is true brilliant, that's why the poem reads like a Masterpiece.

Now swing to the left, and take in plane-trees bobbled with seeds, and that brick building, and a red bus...Cut it off just there, by the lamp-post. Leave the scaffolding in a very fine poem. tony

i like this one! like the message. it makes me want to read more of her poems. -gk

Marvelous panorama presented by the mother nature wonderfully portrayed, A well deserving modern poem of the day.

The last line quite succinctly sums the poem up nicely. Art really is the eye of the beholder.

madly pure Pre-Raphaelite sky, perhaps, sheer blue apart from the white plumes rushing up it (today, that is, April. Another day would be different....beautiful poetic expression....great artistic poem an artistic mind lives not in a canvas merely, it needs a lot of experience to make thousands of it which whirling like the summer stormy wind in creative mind......10++

Nature frozen in painted picture hanging on the wall indoor comes to life when seen outside in reality! Nice modern poem by the Poet chosen for sharing here by all!

Excellent poem....the novel ideas, beautifully expressed here, remind me of Oscar Wilde's paradoxical quip, ' Nature constantly imitates art.'

Phantasmagoric poem about seeing the sky as if an artist has painted it after stepping out of The Tate. About so many other things too - including just that feeling of leaving a museum and how imagery and impacts of paintings are still monopolizing one's mind. Fabulous poem!

Art multiplies itself. Art's whatever you choose to frame.....nice observation. Beautiful poem., Thanks and congratulations for being chosen as the modern poem of the poem of the day.

'Art's whatever you choose to frame'.....How true!

Art is whatever you choose to frame. Absolutely agree.

Howdee! Fleur! Tell me if I'm wrong, I thought I saw you in Creteil last year? ? ? ? Can't mistake that blue-frecked with-white school-girl uniform. Your poem brought back wistful memories. Is the Tate still there? After what you did to it - bundled it all into your poem? Kept looking through your eyes at a scene way back half a century ago! Every good wish. Wignesan

Such an aesthetic write posted here.....

Such an intresting write. Beautifully painted.

Great landscape of nature though painted by master painters are a fragment of what has been created by God. How nicely expressed- the viewfinder / your eye's become.
