A five minute fad
or one week wonder;
fame for a quarter of an hour...

better yet..

Fleeting images..
shadows in the sun,
vapour of the morning dew..
.
Petals of a flower...

Campbell's Tomato Soup, a vision of the sixties
Andy Warhol and his creative mind, some seemed silly
But each played a role
It was his overall goal
To strike out in a new direction in the age of the hippies...

Genetics,kept his stature,small
'As is life' became his call
Graphic posters on city walls;
Murals,pasted,for just a while
Now,timeless.signatures his style

Self-destruction
is erotic.
The ticking time-bomb type is infinitely more attractive
than the girl next door.
I prefer the taste of cheap tequila and No. 27s
on other girls’ lips.
There are sylphs and there are more modern nymphs-
those that thrive on neon and glitz.
Black lace, dark eyes, losing shoes and stroking thighs-
I think I’ve found a new addiction,
a Warhol, M.D. prescription....

warhol
oh oh marilyn had everything
but one flaw-
was so unsure
hopper
the empy chair
explains the sadness in her stare
michelangelo
less a picture of sleep
more of piety and grief
whistler
he was ..her own dear butterfly..
He made her more famous,in reply
seurat
as her gaze disppears into the haze
did seurat miss the point
watteau
a black beauty in chalk
red,black and white
to fill us with delight

9 East 32nd Street
Between 5th and 6th Avenue
In New York City.
My apartment was 3C
On the same block,
Andy ran his “Factory”.
Saw him frequently
Looking his visual self,
Me an SVA art student
Living with my cat
And no one else.
We crossed each other one afternoon,
Andy gave me a free copy
Of his magazine “Interview”.
23 years later I’m thinking
Instead of taking it 
And going my way,
If I had asked Andy his autograph
God knows the value 
That copy would have today....

What brush stroke best expresses your life?
What art form best reflects you?
What style of painting shows all that you are, 
The honest and deep and the true?
	
Are you a whim with an Impressionist on show, 
Or are you a Baroque sort of real,
Or are you the fun of a Contemporary paint, 
Or is Abstract the way that you feel?

From Art Deco to Nouveau to Goth, 
To the Pop Art of Andy Warhol,
I wonder what art best describes who you are, 
Your thoughts, your mind and your soul…...
