CHRISTINA LIFE SKETCH MODEL HAIKUISH
STONE GRIFFIN GALLERY
CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA
August 11, 2011
Raw and Unvarnished as I Rendered the Pictures,
Save for Just a Few Minor Cosmetic Changes
Every Visual Artwork and Motif
Should Include These Extra Poetic Dimensions
Too Late or Too Soon Improvised Tanka,
Out of Season
Radio playing
“Christmas Time is Here”
on a mid August night.
Lines of her form and contours
after Alexander Calder.
The Blues
Heat combines with Art.
Marine layer August breeze
and classic sketch pose.
Paradox
The more I
screw up,
the better
I get.
I look upon nudes
to learn pure morality.
Christina’s visage.
Improvised Sylph Galactic Cluster
Nobel Prize
Higher Physics.
I’ve accomplished
what Einstein
never could.
I’ve ridiculously
elongated
a beautiful woman.
I must be composed
of condensed
neutronium
dark matter
transforming me
into
a gravitational
funhouse mirror.
I love it!
Energy Field Haiku
Female vocalist
Never have I seen pure form
as now – jazz solo.
Christina Twenty Minute Meanderings
Indescribable -
her subtle beach jazz fluid
pure feminine form.
I learn chastity
geholding her nude contours.
Art transforms all dreams.
Timer outside time
she merges into boulders,
swims without movements.
Final Pose
Statues stand alive
teaching us moral lessons.
Chaste nude purity.
And what of the stars
that adorn her lightbody?
What does her skin song?
“Titanic” Rose lives.
Sun and moon, flower tattoos –
soft skin trinity.
Pinkish twilight veil,
silky robe over shoulders.
Soft glow innocence.
