Rough night...

Magpie Tales

Mag 127

Figure Eight, 1952, by Franz Kline

dark chocolate languishing
crisp redness of plump berries
dancing in the white cream

lip smacking ribs
drawn from the heat
napkin filth on the floor

fermented grapes calling
dead corks in a pile
another glass,why not?

predictable disturbance
on the appointed hour
wakens sound reverie

churning and twisted
like a figure eight
gut revolution over my excess

Laurel. But it was sure good going down!


Its Sunday and time for my weekly poetic genius ( she said, tongue in cheek) on Magpie Tales.

  8. I love the stark simplicity of Franz Kline's paintings, and I think your words give this painting an extra dimension. I can almost feel your injection of color into this colorless mental landscape.
