The Painting
Bloop!
Black paint splotched against the canvas:
Thick glistening globs
Stuck on red welter.
Blip!
White goo spat from the flung brush.
“Cows?
he offered,
“In autumn?'

Go pull the other one - I'll never believe there wasn't some other inspiration...
Gracious, it was so just for fun. it. I visited a Modern Art show years ago, and struggled to appreciate some of the pieces exhibited. I wrote this poem days later. I 'lifted' the phrase 'irrational subjective style' right out of an art textbook ... it was so fancy sounding, and basically, so useless. After a good laugh, I did follow its premise, sort of.
Michael's recent 'Art' post reminded me I had the poem somewhere.
Walk across a cow field in Autumn and you` ll find plenty of dung so Im told Cynthia..... you just have to be careful not to step in it!
