Haiku Moments

[Ropey]

drifts agree percy
as coordinates break such
momentum follows​

 

[Amelia]

Fluffy white sunbeam
Razor teeth and claws waving
Trap set for humans

 

[percysunshine]

small feline whispers
sure will portend the horror
of being a mouse​

 

[Ropey]

the rodent moves and
ensures longevity in
accommodation​

how's the book review?
from "masters of deception"
tome by al seckel*

* Copyright of 2004, I'm reading the 2010 version, Fall River Press, NYC. I have no way of sharing the copyrighted pictures, but I can't believe what I'm learning about art from these contemporary masters of the artistic drama that makes people think, pulls aesthetic work out of everyday objects, blends scientific findings with art, pulls realism from nonsensical images by placing a refractive cylinder at a specific location on the canvas, makes impossible figures seem plausible, and the guy from Kyoto? His deception is tricking the brain through the eye to see stationary figures placed on a plane surface to wiggle, jiggle, jive, and rock. I mean, one of his illusions actually made me feel sea sick, and it doesn't resemble the sea in the remotest corner of my mind. I'm truly enjoying doing this review in haiku, although nothing does it so much justice as reviewing them yourself, which is why I have gone to a lot of trouble in the past two days to find, post, and extend links so you can view them up close and personal. If you wish an even bigger thrill, highlight, copy, and place the artist's name into your favorite search engine to see websites, galleries, and exhibits of each artist. I haven't seen one that hasn't been a trip into the unexpected. I took art history at a college in 1965-66, and optical art was around, it just hadn't explored the parameters as well as some of the artists I have linked, and will link until the above book is exhausted of them. I still haven't covered 5 of the major artists known to the author by 2004, and if you had the book, you would be aware many of the artists have lept across the unknown new world into an entirely new paradigm from when the book was written about their "specialties." One of them is more scientist than artist, with a day job for a technological computer lab, yet his terrific works are prolific and masterful. Well, that's enough for now, hope you enjoy this unending review. If you are an art collector, I have a hunch that if you invest in any of these artists' works that are still reasonably priced, you will make a fortune or certainly entertain houseguests if you just hang posters of their intrigue around your abode. This review is causing me to realize how much I love this book that I thought was just going to be a mundane book about some prosaic upshoot of modern art.

[Ropey]

are all the haikus
continuations of the
ones which went before?

words grasp intentions
following behind in paths
of understanding​

 

[freedombecki]

are all the haikus
continuations of the
ones which went before?

dueling haikus
poets poking puns with mirth
'tis not unheard of​

 

[freedombecki]

gray fog tracks smokestack
first clouds chug westerly way
birds whistle soft morn​

 

[freedombecki]

milkweeds thriving drought
pleasing monarch butterflies
flitting through autumn

cannot concentrate
AquaAthena is here

nature, big dumb male​

​

well if such were fact
how might one ever construct
a perfect haiku?
