This poem assignment had to start with the line \"Unexpected meetings occur in a forest.\" This poem isn't about art so much as it is about youth, from the perspective of being young and having been young before.","content":"_Tapestry_\n\n\"Unexpected meetings occur in a forest\"  \nIs the title of the first painting  \nI look at in the art museum  \nLined up, in a row, with a bunch  \nOf other paitings done  \nBy the same artist.  \nThe gallery isn't large,  \nIt's actually quite small,  \nAs far as art museums go.  \nThere are a few dozen paitings  \nAlong the walls,  \nAnd a sculpture or two  \nIn the middle.\n\nThere are only a few other people browsing,  \nA family of four,  \nMother, Grandmother, and two children  \nOne male, the other female.  \nThe male, being younger, has no interest  \nIn the ways of art yet.  \nNeither does his sister,  \nBecause she is older.\n\nThe interest of art  \nIs a dull one indeed  \nFor you cannot like  \nWhat you do not understand.  \nAnd youth rarely understands  \nWhat it does not create  \nOr so I've been told.\n\n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)\n\n\"Tapestry\"\u0026nbsp;by bhscorch is licensed under a\u0026nbsp;[Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/477032-poem-74-wading.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/477037-poem-76-the-hourglass.json"}}
