Michelangelo (Buonarotti),

Candles flickered faint
Sistine Chapel he did paint
Though he was no saint

CLERIHEW ecphrasis II

In the Fresco of Michelangelo Buonarotti 
a touch from God's finger we see
Available now from Holy Spirit each day
if from Him we do not stray

The Emancipation of David

THE EMANCIPATION OF DAVID

for millions of years
he slept in marble prison.
Michelangelo
chiseled his naked freedom,
revealing timeless beauty

Clerihew Michelangelo

A Florentine christened Michelangelo
gave painting,sculpture&poetry  a go
Anatomy in gestures he did portray
still available to touch this very day

How You Were Born

Do you want to know how you were born? You were created in heavens.
Davinci painted your face, Mozart composed your hair,and Michelangelo carved your body.

The Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel

Thy ceiling reaches to touch eyes
where Michelangelo and God rise.

Michelangeo

Michelangelo was an absolute genius
Before the word genius was even dreamed of
The Sistine Chapel 
Hard to grapple
Not conceived even with today's greatness

Emttrilogy

The three are painted men,
1632 spliced with 60's children,
naked as moon flesh,
flat pink seed.

They look like Michelangelo
and weep, holding knowledge
of the secret Judgement.

David

Admiring crowds adore his looks;
He sure is easy on the eyes,
And stands so proud without his shorts,
But some refer – ahem - to size…

Clerihew Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi
came from Caraaggio to be free
with a history of hooliganism in Milan
his art helped* redeem this sad epigram

Michelangelo a Tribute

a renaissance 
  pieta piece
a touch
  from our Lord
so
tactile

marbled sculpture
Frescos,
painted so bright
  fresh as yesterday
a
 work of art
suspended above,
   in space

 by 
God's grace

Graffitti War Between Da Vinci and Michelangelo

News alert: Graffiti rampant on Piazzo del Poplo 1500,
“Da Vinci smokes pot to get high”
“Michelangelo’s a young upstart teen, can’t paint for crap”,
Was a graffiti reply.




For the Da Vinci vs Michelangelo contest

Vignette-Golden Boy

He pictured ceilings and walls
On his time were many calls-
A michelangelo of Art Nouveau
He painted friezes ,very slow
And thus erotica came on show

Her Blue Eyes

There is no artwork,
No painting,
No sculptures by Michelangelo.
That can compare to the wonder of being I feel.
Looking only into her blue eyes.
Why haven't I realized until now,
that I would love nothing more in life,
than to be lost in them forever.

Era Uma Vez

Era uma vez...

Era uma vez 
um menino de 13 anos 
 "Mãe, quero me tornar escultor". 

"Filho, você é louco?”

O filho permaneceu 
na sua decisão;
seu nome 
era Michelangelo... 

As melhores pessoas
Sempre
seguem seu caminho, 
não importa 
o quanto houve antes.

Aquatic Artist

Water wearing down the mountain
carving out a canyon
For millions of years it
makes its mark
causing cracks and crevices
into which it creeps
carrying away the detritus
to be deposited downstream
Sculpting the landscape
just as Michelangelo did marble
An aquatic artist
