life is in the detail
the unfocused, gain dimension
a carving is distinct
beauty protected
where common birds splash


details worked in ironwork
century laden curves
beauty bears a turtle
hoists aquatic friend
rimmed in metal
at the end


fountain details
silly me
thought imp moved
a leatherback jump
to collective bowl
rimmed in metal
beauty bears a turtle
but the birds pay no heed


clearer contrasts stop
to a Naples Yellow wash
pretty rustic
beauty bursts the piazza
iron, marble
marble braced in iron
sculpted
kissed by innumerable pilgrims
details eventually fade
lost, in patrimonial arcades

"where the birds pay no heed"
enjoyed this thought, the imagery,
and Naples yellow...totally a propos

I love ironwork..wished I had some of the antique fence pieces to place on my property

(I am not a very deep thinker, but enjoy your writings, Martin)

Thanks for reading all of you

I give time to appreciating how some sculptors went into so much detail there even the "lesser" fountains of Rome have vibes all to themselves...here I have my wrought iron balcony, banisters, much ofmy area has this...
