Late this evening I completed a draft of the two acrostic poems on this page. I also embellished the textual elements and did more drawing within the two half-moons.
King& Queen
Kumquats @ a B•B•Q
If you mist it — c’est perdu
Now sweet breezes intervene
Getting shut of airs obscene
& reventing shit up spleen
..
Mana Wife
Many woes beset us now
As our land resists the plow. I
Need you, dear. Help me un-oaf
As we ask our soles to Loafe
..
These are drafts. More stages coming soon!
Day after day I’ve told my sweetheart Donna, “I have got to draw today.” And yet I didn’t and didn’t.
Today is different. Marvelously so. I have the above Work In Progress well under way, and pleasant surprises abound with it, and I have high hopes for it. The “King& Queen” acrostic’s rhyme scheme has been solved, rhyming BBQ with C’est Perdu (schoolboy French to the rescue again!) and the first line establishes a bizarre matchup.
Much needs to begin, but as Mary Poppins tells us, “Well Begun is Half Done.”
Cheers, my friends!!
There are a few sounds that non-mimicking birds make that sound like words. One of those sounds might be transliterated to “Awe!” I put “Awe!” in the bird’s word balloon, partly because [bird noise sounding like “Awe!”] might be confusing and distracting, and partly because it delights me to think that a bird taking off might FEEL the Awe that her noise implies.
queen & crew
quarantined &
ultra-chic
everclear & somewhat meek. her
enmity is just for show. she
need some Friends with need to know
If there were no Royalty, would we all be Peasants, Jokers…or Aces?
