the artist's prophecy
means nothing
and never happens

green clouds
and swimming weights,
bed peace
and the end of hate,
door-way Gods
and upside-down trains

the artist who paints
like Shakespeare
oft philosophizes like a hack
(putting your ears under attack,)
but of eloquent shape and color
there isn't any lack

the artist's prophecy
means nothing
and never happens
but it's nonetheless grand
and outstanding

green clouds
and swimming weights,
bed peace
and the end of hate,
door-way Gods
and upside-down trains

"green clouds and swimming weights, bed peace and the end of hate, door-way Gods and upside-down trains" - love the images in this stanza. Repeating it works very well. Like it! :) Magic xxx
