Blue Silk Lobster

BLUE SILK LOBSTER


I'm waving my claws
a lobster among lobsters,
newts, frogs and toads,
all the amphibians;

Peng Yu's idea.

Below, a crowd of gaping art lovers.

She's telling them about a lobster- walking Frenchman,
Gerard de Nerval, who paraded his crustacean
on a blue silk lead
along the Palais Royal gardens in Paris.

Nothing new under the sun.

Go back to the drawing board, Peng Yu,
and I'll go back to the chef's pot,
since you don't care for my artistic freedom

one little jot!

I like this! Great title and a feeling of colourful rebellion to the poem, like that lobster walking poet's attitude to the bourgeois French - the lobster is not so important, but the colour red is - enjoyed, Nicky x

Pictorial eloquence...depends on whatever color of dye pot ya put the pincher in! Blue Silk Lobster is a menagerie and I would imagine silkscreened on a red kimono would open a Scotsman's amphibious habitat to take a stroll in an Iranian Hat, clad in frog, newts, and toads boxers, with a guitar strapped on, singin' Puff the Magic Dragon...Kenny, you're the best...

Love,
Sage

I've never eaten lobster. To put them in a boiling pot of water when they're still alive seems to be the preferred method of cooking.
Put the chef in the pot, I say. :-)
