A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry by Brian Bilston
Impressionism
Roses sway in softened reds,
Violets swim in murky blues.
Sugar sparkles in the light,
Blurring into golden you.
Surrealism
Roses are melting.
Violets are too.
Ceci n'est pas le sucre.
Keith is a giant crab.
Social Realism
Roses are dead.
Violence is rife.
Don't sugar coat
This bitter life.
Abstract Expressionism
So you violets sweet.
Roses you are is
red are roses blue
Sugar?
Pop Art
Roses go BLAM!
Violets go POW!
Sugar is COOL!
You are so WOW!
Conceptual Art
Roses are red,
coated in blood.
A deer's severed head
drips from above.
