For Duff’s writing challenge #13.

Where did you find that netting?

It is torn, tattered and ugly.

Why is it hanging on my wall,

with a rusty nail in the center?

Please take it down right now.

I cannot let my friend see it.

I take lots of pride in my home.

I cannot believe you did that.

    It could be artistic. It depends on how you look at it.
    Nice work.

    Cute! Makes me think of my reaction when my hubby wanted to hang his guns over the mantle where I framed a picture of the Christ!

    Or his reaction to some of the crafts I make!

    Nice one! You brought it to life! Thanks for sharing!

  • David Crerand on Oct 26, 2009

    the eye of the beholder and all that. Nicely written poem, I can sense the anguish of a mom who doesn’t appreciate a child’s vision of beauty. Well done

  • Mark Gordon Brown on Oct 26, 2009

    Art is in the eye of the artist.

  • Katie Marie on Oct 26, 2009

    Love the different pictures that come into our minds with these word prompts. Good job Darla.

  • Duff D Moss on Oct 26, 2009

    This made me laugh actually. I could see a scorned partner hanging his head in shame removing from the wall what he thought was a work of art :-)

    Nice one Darla. Thanks for playing once again

  • hfj on Oct 27, 2009

    Nicely done. Good one for the challenge.

  • BradONeill on Oct 30, 2009

    LOL very nice Darla! this made me recall a scene in my home when I was a kid. My father had purchased an abstract piece of art that was made of metal and welded together he put it on the wall and when my Mom saw it she commented something along the lines of “That looks like a box of hangers got hit by a train.” The piece eventually grew on her but I will never forget the expression of my father going from proud art connoisseur to defeated man in one comment.
