Arty stuff No 8

An artist called Johannes Vermeer,
Was quietly drinking a beer,
A girl with an earring
Said something endearing,
So he smiled and thought "That's an idea!"...

Extracting a Scottish smile with fluent Cornish
taming the devil with a play so fetish
stealing a bugler’s earring
intentions not on airing
crude coal gets refined to appear whitish....

BOX (4)

I let the voice 
recognize the box
but it sits opposite me
		chewing my echo.

I stare around.
	I am inside it.
The echo bounces against its walls
piercing my ear 
like an earring.

My voice giggles into tears
and stands here
	stuck, to remind me
	that the box is stifling me
	the more I grow
	inside it....

Her glance intriguing 
A simple pearl drop earring
Alabaster skin
Hair in a turban like wrap
Portrait of innocence

I am a suitor sneaking upon her
or perhaps a light breeze upon her shoulder

exasperation or is it disappointment parts her lips,
simple indifference, unfulfilled hope?

turban undisturbed, 
in careful turn from light

would be I the target of her stare,
the reason for embalmment leap 

to me, to sit 
on this Mauritshus bench.

from each of 
her ear lobe 
vines hang
a single
rose

earring
bringing
a thought
to mind as
if wanting to 

find out
where the
thorns may
be found so
that my want

to kiss
with lips
will not bleed
but yet need to 
become a bee or

me more
a humming
bird with heart
beat rapidly like
wings wanting to

put my
licking
tongue
slowly
in to

tease...

Lost

My golden earring is lost, gone.
A symbol of my working past 
Sophisticated, young.

Days of suits, neck bows;
Dressing for success;
Simple, professional.

The times of being a part of happening things,
The rush of keyboards and telephone rings,
Passed, oh, so fast.

Now jeans and sweats in silence,
Only the roar of other’s commute;
Goodbye, golden earring....

tones
of
      blue,yellow
      and
      red
             on
black
          her eyes
a
     novelette
                     unread
a 
  look 
                of
                   youth
                    unfazed
        
        our
        past
recalled                in
                    another's
gaze

inspired by Vermeer's The 
Girl with a Pearl earring...

The face of this poem had cotton candy eyes and a mole for a nose, high red cheek bones, and a mouth with black lipstick on. The face of this poem had one right ear and it's yellow. And the face of this poem had one rainbow earring on. Gold framed glasses on a classy lady.she has a blue aura floating above a white halo. I take people at face value, Do you? Well, she is the star of her own life....

My laden desk filled by the spilling 
Of lipstick gritted cigarette butts 
From my ashtray. Piles of grey 
Gathering and merging with the 
Dust around my typewriter. 
A single golden earring, sits 
By my now empty hand as I
Extinguish another finished fag. 
And memories rot, around the
Unused airline ticket, when I 
Wasted my opportunity to go 
After the only one who had ever 
Given me the ability to write....

A pirate met a painter and they had a little natter
Each of them seemed quite upset so what could be the matter
One of them had lost a shoe and only had one left
And one had lost an earring which had left him quite bereft

The pirate hunted high and low, the painter did the same
Neither found the thing they sought which really was a shame
What good is just one earring or a solitary shoe
Long John Silver told Van Gogh, I’ll do a deal with you....

The soul is here for its own joy. 
It floats somewhere behind my eyes.
Existing in breath and relationships 
It responds to and is created by
A Chopin Etude, Round Midnight, a fralich, 
Starry Night, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Guernica,
A pas de deux, a tap dance, Tango,
War, HaShoah, Covid,
The look in a dog's eyes,
Ruby Bridges, Nelson Mendela, grandchildren,
A partner’s embrace, 
Love, hate, acceptance, 
Old age, infirmity, and the end....

My Last Note

My hands on the keys as they clickedy clack
The butts’ in the tray, there is no looking back
A note to my love who is leaving today
My ticket unused as she said I should to stay
As I couldn’t explain the butts with red stain
Or the single gold earring; she couldn’t remain
So she’s taking off and I’m staying behind
And I’m leaving this note, going out of my mind
If she ever comes back; if this note is found
She’ll also find me still hanging around...

When buying clothes with buttons
Often they include a spare,
So if you find one missing
You’re all set for the repair.

It’s quite a handy custom,
For a button often pops
And usually we’re unaware
Of how and where it drops.

Providing extra buttons
Is both prescient and astute,
Preventing people’s wasting time
In matching-up pursuit.

I wish that other sellers
Would adopt this policy;
I’d never miss an earring
If each pair instead had three!
