He Made This Screen Poem by Marianne Moore

He Made This Screen

Rating: 3.0


not of silver nor of coral,
but of weatherbeaten laurel.

Here, he introduced a sea
uniform like tapestry;

here, a fig-tree; there, a face;
there, a dragon circling space --

designating here, a bower;
there, a pointed passion-flower.

Words paint pictures. Some pictures are abstract. What makes an abstract picture beautiful are its colors and its ability to suggest something uniquely meaningful to each observer. I find this poem beautiful.
