Lost and Spellbound
The abstract breasts that jut out in the frames
Of Modernism, jutting out and flat
At once, Picasso’s amalgam defames,
Because he wants to shock. He had a spat
With lovely art and so se wegt his bile.
The spewings on the canvasses, those
Who followed on were vomit-worthy vile
Like Abstract Expressionists in their pose
As artists. Coleridge was wiser than
His buddy, Wordsworth. Samuel declined
To use the language of the common man
As Dalí passed Picasso far behind.
The truer poetry and painting left
Flat trials behind, turning eerily deft.
