“Thank God,” said an elderly Nun at the back. “I’m so sick of Chardonnay.”

execration
After all the execration
was done for the day
Hillary, began to execute
a new plan to purloin votes
and twist necks
after a stiff whiskey or two
Hillary started to brew
a new potion of poison to spew
The ripoff the Clintons did
on the nation in the nineties
it is said, did not satisfy the
thirst of their greediness
give us eight more years
to rip and tear America to tears
the agenda has not been executed
the air is rift with mendacity
and tricks, so please let the process
go forth, Hillarys thirst for power is worse.

My muses are elusive and only show up when they feel like it.
Sometimes they show up when I’m frustrated and angry at a point I get stuck in a painting and if I get mad enough, a muse will show up and do it better than I ever could.
It’s a love/hate relationship.
50?
50?
50?
Thank you LJ, this is nice too.
Somehow the Picasso quote touched something in me when I needed it.
So that’s your biggie for the day, huh! Well, WOO HOO, Tom.;0)
The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.” |
Pablo Picasso |
Biggie? He has a “biggie for the day?”
Yup, a 50 point WOO HOO!
Though the Muses, when taken together, form a complete picture of the subjects proper to poetic art, the association of specific muses with specific art forms is a later innovation. The Muses were not assigned standardized divisions of poetry with which they are now identified until late Hellenistic times. The canonical nine Muses, with their fields of patronage, as established since the Renaissance, are:
Calliope (the 'beautiful of speech'): chief of the muses and muse of epic or heroic poetry
Clio (the 'glorious one'): muse of history
Erato (the 'amorous one'): muse of love or erotic poetry, lyrics, and marriage songs
Euterpe (the 'well-pleasing'): muse of music and lyric poetry
Melpomene (the 'chanting one'): muse of tragedy
Polyhymnia or Polymnia (the '[singer] of many hymns'): muse of sacred song, oratory, lyric, singing and rhetoric
Terpsichore (the '[one who] delights in dance'): muse of choral song and dance
Thalia (the 'blossoming one'): muse of comedy and bucolic poetry
Urania (the 'celestial one'): muse of astronomy
Got a photo?
I’ve never seen a 50 point WOO HOO.
What happened to Sleepy, Doc, Dopey, Bashful, etc????
[The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place]
Lol, I agree with you, Picasso’s words have more meaning than his paintings.
Getting ready to get a perm, lol, see you later.
It's tragic.
