Antoine is a Vampire Ghoul,

Quite barbaric, bloodthirsty and cruel,

         With a fang in your throat

         He’ll suck slowly and gloat

With a smile as you whimper and mewl....

"If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the men to gather wood,
divide the work,
and give orders."

"Instead,
teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

Jean Batiste Pierre Antoine De Monet 
had very bad tooth decay 
woke in the night 
went terribly white 
and was not seen till May Day.

Antoine Pevsner of non objective art
modern materials had no part
Like his brother a matter of technic
in visual space dynamic*

“You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed.” 
from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince 

Though he yapped and whined,
I still loved him so.
He was my dear friend.
He'd turned old and blind
when we let him go.
How can my heart mend?

Wide eyes crave as spoons; 
Earth’s banquet of sights,
Like thin silver moons,
Devouring the night…
Soul lost in haiku
Worldly goods - adieu

The sun is dripping
Blood into the sea.
The sky runs crimson
Heavy is the heart
The wound fresh and deep
Tears fall at sunset.


“One day I saw the sun set forty-four times! … You know, when you're
 feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful.” @ Antoine de Saint.

Despicable
Marie Antoine
dressed in puce
paraded
her gown,
with a queenly
high head,
the pretty
little tome
soon to be
cropped.
When the chopper 
had his way,
her head
came off
and her face 
turned puce.
Was it purple
or puke green?
Maybe that’s the 
reason puce is so
confusing.
In Marie’s case
she was not
confused,
just dead.
