On another site, I average 600 views a day
My approach is different, more artsy let's say
My nose rides higher
Suppressing farts is required
Ain't no friends like our Soup Poops, no way...

It's rudimentary dear Watson, just listen to Papa
Earth was once flat now it's round, that “macabra”
It all about rhyme
Artsy license is mine
Replaced “e” with “a” taking liberties, ya gotta...

artsy
yet subtle
not asking for credit
the backup
timid
the sidekick
content as backdrop
in support
quiet

wanton blooms 
receiving the attention
and applause

Is commerce really society’s glue?
Or is that the job of the artists true?
Were we to lose all creators of art,
Might our civilization fall apart?
Or might the Ult-right, cohesion provide,
And off we'd go on a bored-to-tears ride?...

I wrote this haiku for my mom. Enjoy!

                                              Caring, kind, loving,
                                         Artsy, supportive, awesome,
                                          These words describe Mom....

Why didn’t you use cardinals? Asked the one who is never pleased.
Her harsh words used to injure my feelings, take me to my knees.
Today I said, “bluebirds look so pretty with valentines, red.”
She did not make another comment, this non-artsy type, Ms. Fred....

NOTE: I know I don't typically go artsy-fartsy with my haiku (wax eloquent as Eileen Ghali would call it). But in this case the sky was being too beautiful to NOT go overboard with the descriptions......

Jaspers are a gifted lot; 
they mimic many things.  
From poppies to a leopard’s spots, 
their pictures really sing.  

It weighs much less than many stones; 
in it you’ll see colored fissures, 
holding abstract stories, all homegrown;
such lovely artsy mixtures.

Sitting betwixt these margins outside their box; exactly
Where they wish as need to be ? Growing somewhat weary
Artsy-craftsy's aurora australis articulations; dangling in poetics
Literaturistic high wires acts an arobic miscalculation ? Lese majesty
Essential's evolution morphed their scenes alabaster she and, a revolution....

I know what is best for me


Artsy and creative I am, you see
My imagination is always on fire


Trixie, my muse has a duty to inspire
Hold your ideas; they are yours alone
Enthusiasm helps me with my poem


Offensive it is to be told what to do
Never boss me, or we will be through
Everyone else can keep their own thoughts too...

Hey Hey Loretta what do you say
When nobody cares if your heart matters
A princess with clothing in tatters
From Nelson to these tree-lined streets
Where all the artsy business types meet

Hey Hey Hey Hey Just go away
Tired for your voice everyday
Tired of how you wouldn't have it any other way
So goodbye now and have a good day
I will if you just go away...

Well hello there all my sweet dudes and dudettes
As I write this I contemplate dancing with the Rockettes
However when attempting their famous kicks
This endeavour leaves me in quite a fix
I ungraciously tumble on me bummo and my undies I do wet

Bet this conjures up such a charmingly exquisite, artsy fartsy, mental picture, right!!!...

Every Easter coloring eggs
Artsy eggs without legs
Stir one’s imagination
Terrific color-splash creations
Every year that Easter bunny
Revels in wild colors so yummy. 

Every hunter who finds eggs hidden
Gleaming from grasses all dew bitten
Gets a chance to win a nice surprise
Sweet and tasty are the Easter highlights! 


A Happy and Blessed Easter to everyone!...

A wanna be nazi.? Such a liar though artsy; ' throu-dough
Soon will go.' He has authored many no no's, he moves
Like Hugo a go go.' With a lot less ( to witt ) though.' He is now
Going solo..Yet not up to Hans.' Level flight though he needs maybe a Rocky.? squirrel to jockey his bull-winkle
Cannot see..What a total loss will be.? Into a virtual infinity.'
Which in our dotcom stupidity is about as real as it gets we see !
