A Surreal World of Make-Believe

What is art when deceived of reality in a living world?

Dr Abe V Rotor

     A surreal world of make-believe. 

Oh, art, what is art, when deceived

     of reality in a living world,

when fantasy is reality conceived 

     of beauty in color and word? 

Where has the old familiar pond gone,

     willows hiding its island and shore, 

fish bubbling, splashing in the sun   

     to greet the day and sky's azure?

Ask the doomed ducks and their offspring -

     of what use a pond dies for, 

the artist surreal in thoughts and being, 

     who claims to be the Creator. ~
