I’m unimpressed with neo-impressionism art;
it’s just not for me,

but I must admit I’m impressed with the artist
Jean-Michel Basquiat who rose from a street

artist painting graffiti on city walls to a famed
neo-impressionist artist and succeed so much

he became incredibly famous. But, alas, he
died at the young age of 27,

but at least he lived a short life of artistic glory
and left a legacy of unique and lasting art.

RIP Jean-Michel Basquiat and kudos to how
eminently successful you became.

She’s Only an AI Image Generated Painting,
post-impressionist, but those eyes … those eyes.
Oh how they mesmerize. Oh how they mesmerize
me, as if she and her eyes were real.

I find myself thinking, wishing, she were real or
if she would become real in one of my dreams
some night, or be real when I die and meet me
in some candlelit, moonlift, romantic afterlife.

But, alas, it’s all just fanciful foolishness. Paintings
only come to life in fictional stores. And I’m just a
lovelorn, foolish old man with delusional ideas
about a post-impressionist AI created painting
of a beautiful woman.

But those eyes … those eyes …. Oh how they
mesmerize.

He climbed over the fence into the lion’s
den

and taunted a lion to come to him until
a huge lion growled

and started toward him. When he knew
he was going to die, he folded his hands

in the prayer position for a moment. Then
sped out of the lion’s den up over the fence.

Luck was with him that day because the
lion didn’t pursue him and kill him.

Usually when a person climbs into a
lions’ den, at the least they get maimed.

At the most, they never see this world
again, having been torn to shreds.
