Have you ever been shown an art painting, which falls between “What is it?” and “Oh, my word.”  Before me rests a picture of an abstract painting featuring bright colors: Yellow, blue and green, with a few dabs of white dangling unattached near the center.  The bright blue images appear to resemble flowers, with pedals haphazardly arranged among fuzzy green, leaves of a sort, on an intense yellow background, emphasized in places with some strong brush strokes. My initial reaction:  “Wow!  this painting would brighten up a room,” but describing it presents a challenge.  First of all, what does one write about when unsure of the subject?  Lets give it a try:   

A Curio Piece

To a blank canvas,
Add earthly colors,
Yellow, blue, and green,
With a touch of white.

Yielding abstract art,
With obscure meaning.
A flower of sorts,
In a sunlit place?

An urge to imbue
Oneself in the piece
But where to focus?
Yellow, blue or green.

Yellow, for bright sun?
Blue, for rare roses?
Green, blending the two;
White, a diversion?

Blue roses ponder 
Opposites: true love,
Or unrequited
Love —a subtle trap. 

“How do you like it?”
A pause, to reflect,
On prudent response:
“How Interesting!”

When hung on a wall,
A curio piece,
Adds bold ambiance
To brighten decor.
