Belgian Symbolist painter Fernand Khnopff
avant-garde art he love quite a lot
Pastel dream lady-like was his thing
in Memories' the tennis scene a novel swing
Radical engraver Charles Maurin
put the art world in quite a spin
Illustrator for journal Le Temps nouveau
from his brush intimate portraits were to flow
Mostly an oddball was Magritte
here however a portrait sweet
Usually & reputably so surreal
this 'cig girl' is so so real
Belgian Rene Magritte
whose paintings were so neat
Full of stilled enigmatic
in scenesso idiosyncratic
Rene Magritte so surrealiste
was also a moraliste
His art as a dream
never reveal what they dream
Renee Magritte,an enigma in a bowler hat
I wonder what we should make of that
perhaps they are his alter ego
he never said so we'll never know
so
banal
yet
deadpan
absurd
clashing
symbols
heard
in
the eye
where
imagery
is
all
Hodlers Horizontals
Hodler's five ladies in blue*
'a view into infinity' so true
A linked handed cinquain
their beauty in memory remain
The "ladies in blue" by Swiss Symbolist painter Ferdinand Hodler most famously refers to his monumental final masterpiece, 'View to Infinity'
Ferdinand Hodler had no self doubt
his topical art had much clout
He also loved the silhouette
narrative allegoryhus safe bet
Alphonse Mucha a Czech
his paintings easy to detect
So distinctive & stylized
even prints now valued &prized
Ladies, and potential lovers;
In a windy rush
Go, frail as fair, by.
As that lot, gaping at, on
Whose clutch-tempting air
Stride, wing-stepping, nigh.
Her ignorance of such made
Her desirable, lacking the
Knowledge of causing made
Her more appealing
The male flies shall lore and
attract these males to the
Female and the nature of
Coupling shall make things
Seem natural
Yi-di-hi-di-ho answered the
Doctor of fly-o-nimics
These are troubled flies who's
ablity to attract will be altered
by the objectives of the people?
Yes said the fella speaking, these
are the "Troublyst" the area of
Concern. Those of valor shall
Be honored by these doings!
Might you be honored ; oh brave
and desirable man, she said! If oh
Is ooh and I am desired and such might
all those before me be "the troublyst"
Might we be victorious in our endeavors?
Yes oh ,lover of mankind? Yes that I submitist
To thee that all others are against our coupling!

If I had a BILLION dollars,
not a piddly million,
I would buy myself
a ticket to your concert,
and blast back to the past
of 1999
dance dirty feet
in the grass
to one my favorite songs:
'If I had a Million
Dollars"
in a long wraparound
silk skirt, hair down,
and smiling like a fool
If had a billion dollars
I'd buy myself
a thick slice of peace of mind
and a thinner cut of blueberry pie
alamode
If I had a billion dollars
I would buy bright green
running sneakers,
kick back and sprint!
to the year that I decided
that I would keep you around
longer than the day
the pumpkins were ripe
for picking
our dog, Mama was still alive
and the air was full
of cinnamon
and spiced possibility
Ed tried to write a poem
for the first time in his life
However, in so doing
he scared away his wife
She read it once
and thought him mad
And though her reaction
made Ed sad
He posted it on a website
where many fillies view it
Who think that Ed has good horse-sense
~ He’s no longer cause to rue it
Tall slim ladies are specs most men attract
Claimed to look down people, heights subtract-
Appealing breast and buttocks
Hands hold not; mouth barely sucks
Without stress-- love and ego interact...
cold water swimmers
have got a VERY apt name
they're called 'The BlueTits'
When appearing in public as Droopy sad vote needy it just
crumbles just as the millions of others.
Left with a guilty dialogue to chase? Please yourself
and don't for once, your a grown up, you can don't know too.
Please visit Ventura and thousand oaks cities guys.
Bring your spine it has a home here it's missing
Get to work
Make nother talking history hiding
Oopsy building down?
Elected by majority of population, sad?
Yes- hustler,
all dressed in his lies.
Slick talking,
devil tongue.
Loves ladies of all ages,
you watch out for him.
