Premium Member Van Gogh and Dali

starry nights
van goghs painting
created while he was a patient
in a mental hospital

salvadore dali
told by his parents
he was a reincarnation
of his dead brother

two messed up artists
who used their pain
to create beauty 
to bring us joy

Premium Member Dali the Lewis Carroll of Artists

Salvador Dali’s work makes me smile, sometimes laugh even.
It uplifts me, makes me feel happy, brings joy.
He was more daring at his heyday than any artist ever.
His risk taking ability has opened up the realm of possibility for others.
He was the Lewis Carroll/Edgar Allen Poe of artists if you ask me.

Premium Member Land of the Dead Clocks

n the land of the dead clocks they slither and slink
Not caring about the time, without battery or blink
Like snakes moseying around, they barely move at all
Some linger and languish, others lie against a back wall

How did we get here? The clocks ask each other.
No one has a guess, some are too ugly to smother.
In the land of the dead clocks, time has stopped forever.
How soon do I want to visit? Let’s go with never.

Premium Member Dali Paints Exploding Head

Six years after the atomic bomb
Plunked down in Hiroshima 
Tearing people into pieces
Dali was still losing sleep over it

He begins to collect strips and struts
Developing a surreal idea of what he is about
Collects arrowheads, wire, bits of bone.
Defers from his usual style

Puts together Raphaelesque Head Exploding
A tiny canvas with a large message
Showing his disdain for atomic bombs
And the barbaric aftermaths

Premium Member Acoustic Shadows

The day’s flattery flattens into disturbance,
  glowering as arms weaken,
my ears seek solace, 
  a soundproofed room,
lit by candle flickers in the dark,
  I miss a peek all I can, trying 
with might not to notice
  its shadow who's espied me 
ignoring audiovisuals 
  of melted clocks
and tick tocks echoing 
  In a Dalí pixel I dwell,
in his obscurity I fall
  The Sandman
won’t get me,
  asleep, not this time

A Joke For Dali

I say I say I say
Said the horse with the long face
The Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman looked on.
Knock knock said the dwarf 
In a jovial tone
Put his fez on
And then he was gone.
What's black,white and red? the nun said
As a trumpet grew in her yard
She rooted it oot without a sound
And didn't let down her guard.

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then Dali said it well
The world is other than it seems
Let's leave at the last bell.

The Impermanence of Memory

Late: The square?holds its panting between
?the last bus and the first argument.

Nowhere / ‘online’ - @someone is ‘winning’..?
A face, a flag, emptiness trending; always.

We desired a just world -?rights, dignity, ‘progress’; doors?that open to merit.

Enlightenment still flashes warning
from the distant rocks - through darkling fog.?
The doors? Gone.

?it will not be alright.?
it is cold.

?the square waits: quiet, tense.?
you are here,?
so am I.
