Genius



pebbles once boulders
granule by granule eroding
becoming hand sized morsels
turned into exquisite art
by Erzsébet Furmen

     no picture fantasized
     without effervescent color
     boundless in locale
     kitchen to café
     pans to umbrellas

panoramic vistas explored
relationships revealed
angels swirling wands
silhouettes projecting shadows
unparalleled imagination exhibited

     unfolding stone into craftsmanship
     producing surreal creativity
     detailed eloquence fabricated
     “storytelling fables” purveyed
     GENIUS personified
