10 Interesting Things I Found on the Internet #124 – Content Catnip

Spinach and lentil curry


AA78 by Zdzislaw Beksinski (1978)

Zdzisław Beksiński, the Polish painter, photographer, and sculptor with a reputation for dystopian surrealism and nightmarish artworks. Beksiński’s life was marked by personal tragedies like the death of his wife and son, as well as his own tragic end. However throughout his life, Beksiński himself resisted such interpretations, preferring to let his art speak for itself and was remembered as a mild-mannered and content person. He was born in Nazi-occupied Poland, the horrors of the era left an indelible mark on his work. This often features emaciated figures and the psychological shadows of war. This artwork below is less menacing and a bit more enchanting which is why I like it.

Yassy And Cogito’s Odic Haiku Slam – yaskhan

My verse that kicked off this haiku slam 

Soul 
The part of me 
still wild 

my free form haiku are in italics and Cogito’s lunes are in Roman 
Thank you, ma’am
For marathon slam 
Poets dance 

You are welcome, Monsieur 
because I hold my words so dear 
the slam brought us near 
in symphonic poetic distance 

sonic words 
poetry rings true 
mantras hum 

sonication 
poetic tunes 
humming poesies 

raise a flute 
tingling bubbly scent
jasmine wine

Sum saké
sparkling roseate 
winsome Sum 

scented steam 
in a sake cup 
jasmine tea 

steamy sip 
sake dip 
pouring fragrant 

fragrant sip 
with a dippy twist 
jasmine zest 

fragrance 
thy name is E 
cogito peppy zing 

birds and bees 
Jasmin nectar sip
hum and buzz 

butterflies fling 
their arms so wide 
nectar my gods 
A ditty in praise 
A toast to Cogito 
raise

#art, Talking About Pablo Picasso… – JaZzArt en València

…It’s amazing to think that fifty years have passed since Picasso’s passing and the birth of that extraordinary song! Time truly flies, doesn’t it? Picasso remains an unparalleled titan in the art world. His remarkable paintings continue to fetch millions of euros or dollars*, and his profound influence on the art scene is still vibrant and unmistakable.
