Nicholas  Poussin had long hair
painting sculptured  nudes with great care
His work was biblical&sound 
appearing dark as he used red ground*

Evil Queen
Her face, a jealous green
The mirror on the wall
Black heart could not forestall

Snow White
Her beauty did ignite
Ruby lips and raven hair
Seven dwarves were quite...

Vincent Willhelm van Gogh
a difficult talent to truly know
unwise love choices-Eugenie Kee&Sien
made him stick to brush not pen

Finance support from brother Theo
loosed his giftings to flow
in dark landscapes&still life
too bad,  without a  wife

From Ecole de Beau Arts a matric
In Antwerp he creates his pics
Then to Paris to mix with the best
lived an artist  life with great zest

Upon the death of Pa Theodorus
Vincent does portraits&busts
as his love life to Margot ails
so also his pointillism fails

He then met Agostina Segatori
& a brief affair the world did see
An interest in all things Japanaise
then to Arles were the sun does blaze

The artists colony  was not a success
Vincent cut off an -ear-but I digress
progressively VG became deluded
'a mad redhead,'the locals said

Genius & delusion marries as one
but a recognisable usp is done
with broad brush& wavy line
a reputation to outlast his time

In Arles he is hospitalised
&unique art realised-
then with a gun suicides
on canvas though his genius resides...

VLAD THE IMPALER

Aren’t you “Vlad” to see me?
He bares his Transylvania teeth.
“Impaler” and of the “Order of the Dragon”
That devil, Dracula’s out for blood.

Light is awaking,

New dawn is breaking,

A breathtaking morning,

Now faces scream warning!
Spreading lava!
Getting faster!
Eruption!
Destruction!
Shaking!
Taking!
Dark.

Rudolph the red-nosed




Rudolph the red-nosed,
when for pic with Santa posed,
Slipped off the sleigh, down he rolled,
yet nose in dark, illuminated manifold !
