“The task of art today is to bring chaos into order”
Theodor Adorno
Chaos for the Daily Post
Call it an organized chaos
In a shopper’s daily pathos
It may be as colourful as Legos
But they come without any egos

“Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot,
others transform a yellow spot into the sun”
Pablo Picasso
Transmogrify
Open the door
It’s still early
But, after one hour
Your face will turn sour
What greets
Is the horror
Of snow, snow
And even more snow
As far as you can blow!

“Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot,
others transform a yellow spot into the sun”
Pablo Picasso
Transmogrify
Morphing hood
Near the woods
Now you see it
Now you don’t
The ground that is
How easy
It is to please!
Just a little snow
Before the wind blows
Or sunshine
Melts it all away
( I can only hope!)

“Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot,
others transform a yellow spot into the sun”
Pablo Picasso
Transmogrify
Follow
The yellow brick road
If you can find it
That is
Because for now
It’s all covered in snow!

Transmogrify
The road less travelled
Is now covered
With a white substance!

“Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”
Theodore Roosevelt
Feet on the Ground for SL-Week
As oddly as it may sound
I am quite profound
My feet firmly on the ground
Now that I have found
My shiny red shoes!

For National Coffee Day
“Coffee: The finest organic suspension ever devised”
Another cup of Coffee?
“Dear, another cup of coffee for you?”
“Oh yes please,
I could never refuse
Such an offer!”

“I think the scariest person in the world is the person with no sense of humor” Michael J. Fox
Dark Glasses
Can’t stand the flashes
Oh paparazzi be cursed
Because,
I am forced
To wear these dark glasses
Before,
My fifteen minutes of fame
Passes

Rear-view Mirror
Trying to act casual
Trying to act cool
After all,
There is nothing unusual
And nothing, like a fool
Than, in the middle of traffic
Stopping midway
For a quick snap it
After all
This is what all
Self conscious hip people
Do these days!
So snap, snap, snap away
A selfie in progress

Poetry, Day Ten: Future
Could it be our last day of Intro to Poetry already?! Let’s keep our spirits up by focusing on whatever it is that’s coming next. Whether it’s about tomorrow, next October, or the year 2345, let today’s poem be inspired by your vision of the future. (Fears, hopes, and plans are equally acceptable, of course. As are robots!)
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” William Shakespeare
Road to Nowhere
The future
Now uncertain
When removed is
The safety curtain
No time
For bloopers
Nor reruns
Used is
The last dime
For a trip
To the sun
First
Summer
Then fall
No bummer
Just a ball
Future
Unfolds
We are
On a road
To nowhere
Travelling fast
Forgetting
The past
It would not
Have lasted
Anyway
Future
Unknown
Or so
We were told
Never mind
Just be kind
Your place
You will find
Past, present
All in imperfect
Time still
Well spent
Now
Heads up
Finish
Your cup
Legs, arms
Tucked inside
Let the slide
Your way
Down guide
