Belgium's Rene Magritte

Everyday objects so deadpan
its here surrealism began

Brussel's surreal Rene Magritte
whose art some think rather neat
His painting* is a bit of a lark
so often deadpan&stark

(Based on the painting “The Treachery of Images” by René Magritte)
If you label symbols traitors
Since they’re only indicators
Rather than the actual things they signify,
Then you’re logically unable
To affirm your very label
Is a truth and not a metaphoric lie.

"Deep Waters"
These walls full circle
This room full tide
Deepest Deep Waters
All shades of Blue
Floodgate sheds lives
Empty room
Vacant garden bed
Dead Womb
Departure
Called Home
Cut the chord
Reborn
(Lovejoy-Burton/April 2018)

The Reckless Sleeper
Copyright July 16th 2009 Corinne Curcio
A dream - the landscape
Rambunctious subconscious
Plays hide and seek with your soul
You look for clarity
A crumb of charity
Something to swallow whole
But those in the know look backwards
Light a candle and brighten the sky
The mirror within offers a view
Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you
Dada is ca-ca
And they all agree
Don la chapeau without care
Surrealists love
The trickery of
Art as a farce laid bare
And those in the know look forward
Eat an apple or bake in a pie
The mirror within offers a view
Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you
Twirl me around, Rene Magritte
Pas de deux on the Rue de la Paix
Let's glide down the Seine
Lift your umbrella again
I think it might rain today
And those in the know look sideways
Tie a bow on a bird – watch it fly
The mirror within offers a view
Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you
Based on the painting "The Reckless Sleeper" by Rene Magritte
