Translation is a Fine Art - 'Bite Size 94' contest

    Translation is a fine art
      wreaks havoc with volition       

    Errors of commission
      divulging those of omission

The fine art of making excuses

The fine art of making excuses

which achievement, deportment,
endorsement, and indictment
(more serious than rigging an election)
jump/kickstarts (a divine comedy of errors)
not reason enough
to be deported),
but necessitates more than a facile effort
linkedin to a working knowledge
of familial genetics ofttimes

discovering, revealing, and unearthing
locked up figurative ghosts in the closet,
and/or shocking insights
courtesy vis a vis mapping lineage
of descendents whose

The Fine Art of Keeping Distance

Into the deep- green hearted forest
far removed from man's raucous tangle
the many tacky hues of self-centeredness.
There's only herbivores and carnivores
doing their thing in primal time harmony.
Nesters weave the incoherence together
Miraculously everything is spaced out evenly
I'm given a wide berth and tolerated to a degree. 

Even the gray silence keeps its distance from me.

The Fine Art of Bathing

On the subject of bathing
There are two schools of thought:
In a shower or tub,
Which you do,
Which you ought?
Of course, some people say
Either way is okay,
While others are a tad more particular.
They'd rather scrub in a tub
And recline on their spine
Than to sluice standing up,
Perpendicular.

The Fine Art of Life

Champagne and wine
Elixirs of the elite's delight
beverages of the upper classes
as they rendezvous and converse
amid soirées decked in elegance
mingling among their 
	latest art acquisitions
		envied, even by the Louvre



The wonderful taste of caviar
	In opulent ballrooms, near and far
		where aristocrats and fashion find their air

ah yet sometimes I ponder
how the toiling working class
gets through monotonous days
I imagine

Still Life

In the corner there...
Under the defused lights,
With spectral highlight’s here, 
There, they float near and afar.
An apple sits in its technicolor glory, 
It's not fully red or crimson or scarlet 
Greens of sage and emerald 
Dances in its hues, 
Corruption is setting in as time passes 
under these searing spots 
as rot comes like a

Stone Mason's Legacy

Stonemason's talent 
his gnarled hands carve fine art
fluid beauty from granite

Flowers, fern and foliage
Exquisite presentation
Not for mortal eye.

The crypt slumbers on
Divine carved angel awaits
With patience sublime.

A holy quiet
Permeates this sacred place
Time has no meaning.

The Fine Art of Axe-Throwing

Ever gone to throw an axe?
You’ll love it if you try.
Grip the handle and relax,
Standing firm into your tracks,
Release and let it fly.

Over end, the axe will spin,
And through the air will whisk.
To the target, caged within,
Close to center, you will win,
Like darts with more the risk.

In the target, there are rings,
That circle round the

Tattoo Versus Fine Art

Tattoos, the rage, are not a fine art, 
Not meant to hang on a gallery wall,
Black and white traditional, to sharp tribal plans, 
Not huge, just simple and small,

You see, in galleries of oils and acrylic artists, 
Paints are intricate, and tell a whole tale,
And these painted pieces are often worth heaps, 
Often they’re there

Fine Art

Wonder takes flight
As beauty speaks,
Fine art moves sight
In fragrant peaks.


Art form now grow
A strange delight,
A touch frames flow
Of deep insight.


Art has a way
To channel feel,
A glimpse can sway
A touch that heals.


Grace in pure strokes
Of genius wit;
Surge of feel yokes
Such vivid fit.


In a quick flash
Fine art evokes,
Mood swing to dash
Where soul feels stroke.


Here in this space
Timeless

A Fine Art

Not as yet mastered
Something to aspire to
That crafty art of listening

When it comes to me
He hasn't perceived
The art of nodding and smiling

The Heart Is Fine Art

The heart is fine art.
A complex body part.
One that  beats along roads with a spear part. 
Through this body part all things are felt. 
This is the vital organ to the body of the world. 
From it, sweet notes unfurl. 
Curled into the sweaty palms of a lover. 
A new beating hope under a
