Death in Venice: Triolet

After Degas.

The problem with the world is there’s only one of it. If something goes wrong there isn’t a backup. It just grinds on, full of the error.
(Luke Allan)

A An Amazon swamps Venice’s lagoon.
B The world, it just grinds on, full of the error.
c Viagra’d boars cavort with slinky sows
A As Amazon swamps Venice’s lagoon.
a Rank in bling, siliconed, yacht-bestrewn,
b The grand old tart supports the jet set’s mirror.
A An Amazon swamps Venice’s lagoon.
B The world, it just grinds on, full of the error.

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.

    Lovely drawing – Degas would be flattered.
