TWINKU a double word distich with integral title
Umberto Boccioni loved to sketch

Died following a Cavalry horse fall
changing genres a unique artistic call
STILL LIFE*

*An ekphrasis lanterne after
Modern Idol by Boccioni
NOTE:the single lanterne(also a shape form) is in reality a half American cinquain (the epigram form created by Adelaide Crapsey,thus labelled 'American' )
The futurist artist Umberto Boccioni
tried to capture movement-an impossibility
nevertheless with atmosphere
on a flat surface made a flicker appear*

Umberto Boccioni,a futurist was his call
died horse-riding,from a fall
his art usp a flickering blur
a moving image was his spur
the single lanterne is a half
American cinquain

Tall

the dutch hoe
rusting in the

Lanterne #5

sea mist
rolls inshore-
daydreams deluge
me
Lanterne#18
Blind
alleys
so often
have the deepest
ruts.
Lanterne 3
By
a stream
so shallow-
stoops a willow
tree.
Lanterne 177
May
blossom-
confetti
dancing on the
breeze
