Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

There once was an artist unknown
whose painting resembled a stone.
“It’s abstract,” he said,
“it’s a young lady’s head
with nothing to see but the bone.
But why are the features left out
and a few scribbly lines strewn about?
“They show an idea in my mind
that imagines an image of kind.
But if onlookers cannot see this,
how can they know what it is?
“It’s the title that tells us,” he said,
as he woke from his dream in his bed.
“But without a title I’m sunk,”
he thought as he sat on his bunk.
