PROLOGUE:

For what's in a name,
That Shakespeare untamed,
A lyric gained fame,
But when it became,
A different ball game,
For one who's insane.

Yet if twin Yanks say 'Gogh' , 'tis equivalent
might meant, to be, like 'goes',
Dutch disagree, cite, annunciation,
could...

Awakened and degenerated, I feel I am clashing somewhere 
The clouds appear and then depart, just another face amongst billions  
Millions of colors of the rainbow at one point I thought I was rare...

Do you hear them?

Woodland creature amidst the thicket, drawn, oblivious to indifference beneath 
heavenly luminescence.
And I, baring admiration in acknowledgement, plea to the awakening of your 
fellow ear as companion.
Fields breathe life of their expulsion.

They call me Nock Knock,
I guess it’s because John John sounds the same,
And this is writers block,
That keeps just screaming' my name,
 
Thiers just one thing I want to write about,
Just one person that appears...

The King's Wife - Te Arri Vahine

immortalized a goddess of Tahiti, Pacific paradise.

Paul Jackson Pollock

Condense versions that affected the times,
Immense variants that scoped his pleasures,
Florence immersed unravel a mentor,
Propense expounds at immortal measures.

Haul labeled abstract impressionist art,
Gall at pouring, splashing, horizontal,
Call, was...

He would visit the wharf of the pond very often
Peace and joy writ large on his lips and eyes
He would whistle a tune to call the shoal of fish 
From inside the water as well...

Floating fluttering fleurs
are jewels in fuchsia and magenta
transmuting into taffy hue
with the kiss of dappled sunlight~
Like her cheeks that blush in pink
with his wondering wink... 

The willows are stalactites 
seducing newly bloomed nympheas
slumbering in Egyptian...

You swept in like a French impressionist with the leaves blowing in the air.
You snapped a photograph of me swinging and my long blonde hair. 
We made love all night long, and shared a life...

LIFE’s INTENTIONS
Across the field in wild proliferation
A multiplicity of forms abound
Not broad brush daubed impressionist collation
But gathering of beings, each one crowned

Every leaf each blade of grass with purpose showing
A will that shall maintain the...

In the beginning the world was flat.
Nature was magical and that was that.
We expressed or selves with cave drawings and cuneiform too
Cuneiform was cool because it was new. 
Later came sand script ant it was...

I recognize a tune from album of your songs
And listen intently to impressionist sounds
As you hop scotch from branch to branch
Like a child all excited, frolicking in playground
Peeking from behind shamrock green leaves
Singing of love...

The Empty House

My first recollections of our life here
Will always be the tropical landscape, 
The endless rows of swaying palm trees, 
The miles of impressionist shades of green, 
And the abundant brilliant bursts of color....

What pain you must have felt - what a life that you lived
A starving artist - swallows his own paint - in order to feel complete.
Painting the simple folk of a town
The tavern at dusk...

Blue faded.
The same horizon, the same clouds
changed by brushes from an impressionist painter.
The lavender sky blushes 
and the crest of the cheery trees beams
as the wind hums, enticing belated bumblebees.
Twigs rattle waking a little shepherdess...

coruscating cosmic colours
dazzling in the skyline~
prismatic geometric shapes
of village houses from afar 
dwarfed by enormous haystacks
a fiery cone resting 
illuminating in varied hues
reminds me of 
a mystic mountain ~
against  the luminous sky;
emanating silhouette 
resembling...

An existential waiting for Godot,
when aggravated, drinking much Bordeaux,
could even bring Thoreau dismay and woe,
to mutilate one’s ear like poor van Gogh.
When we despair, impatience flaring, though,
in spite of claims of piety, we show
our unbelief...

waterlilies promenading
in a lonesome pond
are glimmering jewels
of green onyx and emerald
exuding empyrean elegance
of your perennial aura 

oh, the purplish water
that holds her tiny roots
gently interchanging 
like a melody transposing
from monophony to polyphony 
whilst lilac and...
