*Jack Vettriano* The Singing Butler

Brief

Down
South,
I long
Ago
Tasted
The
Sweetness
Of
Another’s
Mouth,
My
Fingers
Stained
With
Wine,
In
The
Days
When
Love
Was
Mine.
I sang
The
Lilting
Song
Of
Yesterday
And
Danced
The
Hours
Away
Until,
With
A
Silent
Shout,
All
The
Lights
Went
Out.

*Edvard Munch* Separation

Drama

Come,
Invoke
Fair
Lovers
Of
The
Past
That
Could
Not
Last,
Those
Romeo’s
And
Juliet’s,
And
All
Their
Sad
Regrets.
Thwarted,
It’s
Reported,
Like
Heloise
And
Abelard,
Who
Tried
So
Hard,
Not
To
Mention
Ines
And
The
Future
King,
Who’s
Affections
Were
Definitely
Not
The
Thing.
Rise,
Dear
Ones,
From
Long
Ago
Unhappiness
To
Bless
The
Fragile
Romance
Of
Today,
And
Like
Melpomene,
Grace
Our
Humble
Play.

*Jack Vettriano* Night Time Rituals

Eidetic

Some
Memories
Are
Tipped
With
Gold
As
I grow
Old.
Others
Pierce
My
Skin
Like
Shrapnel
And
Remain
Within,
Ever
Fresh
In
My
Wounded
Flesh.
No
Matter
The
Rend,
It’s
Not
The
End,
I still
Can
Sing,
Let
Recollections
Mingle,
And
Boldly
Remember
Every
Single
Thing.

*Gustav Courbet* Jo, The Beautiful Irish Girl

Method

There’s
More
Than
One
Way
To
Skin
A
Cat,
I know
As
I begin,
And
Diligently
Prepare,
But
The
Problem
There
Is
I have
No
Cat,
But
Only
What
I strongly
Suspect
Is
A
Rat.
So
Tell
Me,
How
Do
I deal
With
That?

*Giuseppe Arcimboldo* Vertumnus

Holding Action

Leaves
Dry
And
Balance
On
The
Trees
Until
A
Breeze
Takes
Them
Down
To
Form
A
Carpet
On
The
Ground.
Roses
Shed
Last
Lingering
Bits
Of
Red,
Brilliant
Cosmos
Brown,
Fade,
And
Soon
Are
Dead.
Winter
Will
Sweep
In
Again,
Just
When
I thought
I’d
Won
This
Time,
To
Make
Summer’s
Glory
Last,
So
Fall
Will
Never
Come
To
Call,
And
Steal
Away
It
All.

*Torso 5* 30" H X 24" W Acrylic On Canvas

Lab Work

Two
Vials
Of
My
Blood
Drawn
Today
And
Taken
Away
To
Be
Analyzed
And
Read
By
My
Doctor
To
See
If
I’m
Alive
Or
Dead.
My
Physical
Comes
Yearly
And
I sincerely
Hope
Results
Return
As
They
Should,
Since
I’ve
Been
Fiercely
Good,
I must
Say,
At
Least
An
Hour
Every
Day.

*The Triumph Of Icarus* John Pitre

Now

The
Thing
About
Being
Bereft
Is
You
Can
Design
What’s
Left.
Stripped
Down
Of
Past
Renown,
Begin
Again,
Maybe
This
Time
Achieve
A
Lasting
Win,
And
Give
The
Old
Delicious
Game
Another
Spin.
Who
Knows?
The
Blossom
May
Wilt,
But
The
Plant
Still
Grows.

*Moon Rise* Karen Jewell-Kett

Libra Rising

Last
Night
I watched
The
Moon
Be
Swallowed
Whole.
A
Cloud
Mouth
Opened
Wide
And
Took
The
Orb
Inside.
Not
To
Be
Caught,
It
Reemerged
In
A
Mighty
Surge
To
Rise
Above
It
All,
The
Fabled,
Frosty,
Hunter’s
Light
Of
Fall.

*Feminine Solitude* Evynn LeValley

Solitude

Alone
In
The
World,
My
Coin
Nearly
Spent,
I work
On
And
Strive
To
Be
Content,
Uncertain
If
This
Is
How
I was
Meant
To
Be,
A
Sadly
Weathered
Version
Of
Me,
On
Display
For
No
One
To
See.
I get
Along,
Singing
A
Well
Worn
Song,
In
A
Place
I’ve
Yet
To
Belong,
With
Little
Left
To
Do
Wrong.

Soaked

The
Mimosa
Is
Hung
About
With
Rain,
Precious
Water
Rushing
To
The
Storm
Drain.
This
Deluge
Will
Revive
And
Keep
Alive
October’s
Blooms
To
Grace
My
Rooms.
When
They
Are
Winter
Dead,
I’ll
Have
Their
Image
In
My
Head,
To
Last
Until
Spring
Awakens
Every
Living
Thing.
