My Example Poem
Kandinsky
Clothes (Stave Stanza)
"I want to
stroll and get some sun.
You're artistic,
aren't you, my hon?
I haven't got a
thing to wear.
You'll paint me
something if you care."
Sure, I can do that
heaven knows
you look just fine
in painted clothes.
With sun-screen
added to my oils,
I began my most
earnest toils,
My mind had wander
when you moaned,
thank Gawd your
mother telephoned.
That kept the other
subject closed.
you look just fine
in painted clothes.
Most folks took
little heed at all
as we both strolled
across the mall.
One connoisseur
observing it
exclaimed out loud,
"That's one fine fit.
It's all just as I
had supposed
you look just fine
in painted clothes.
