An Amusing Statue In A Bavarian Idyll In Germany - comic poem 212 by Angela Lansbury

Is that you, statue?

Who are you? Are you blue?

Standing stiff, standing still

Always watching the same hill?


I was impressed when I heard

A sculptor visualised an angel

But a portrait painter, maybe

Sees inside as well


In a block of rock

On an empty page

With hammer, pencil in your hand

You populate your stage


Unmoving figues have their place

Recording a moment in time

While kinetics create a moving face

More like yours and mine.


A work of art has pinned a pose

You walk around it, see some more

Thank goodness I'm a living thing

And not stuck to the floor.

Members of my extended family visited a hotel in the Austrian alps and took this amusing photo.
