"Good Morning, World!"

Category: visual art

EVENT

Statuesque figure

shouldered an open doorway —

more nudists appeared

Watery Stroke

Pink washed horizon

seeps into dawn like the pull

of My Heart to Sky

Peter’s Birthday

Eye have painted The World

Blue

on the anniversary

of My First Date

with My Children’s Father

when We picked strawberries

and drank champagne

and imagined

living

in Nova Scotia

Dr Blair’s Secretary

Eye had a dream

of Treena’s Hair —

back to normal

dark brown

cut short

and cute

Fountain of Youth

The silhouette of My Scraggly Apple

with Its new three leaves

looks like the edging

on some of My Paintings:

blobs of lichen and lines —

drips carried

off by the end

of a paint stick

Early Morning Moon

Eye watched The Moon

escape The Clouds —

the veil of its delicate

clip

to be released

above My Bowl of pink

and gold beneath

the accent of its reach —

only to disappear amidst

the haze of upper

streak

Over Baccaro

My sun emerging:

opposite of dead ember —

new flare of all life

Morning Window

My watery moon:

Halo of condensation

seeps through my dawning

This Afternoon

Eye lay on the beach sand

alone on My Aqua Towel

face down to hear the waves

with The Sun on My Back

and re-named My Painting

“Iridescence”

to

“Nova Scotia”

Awning, Dawning, Spawning

An Awning We will erect

on the facade of the UFO Museum

in Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia

to exhibit The Model of Self Organizing Galaxy

unfurled, to Dawn upon The World

as the only surviving Artefact

of The Artwork which Spawned
