An Anonymous Critic Named Marceau
There once was a critic who admired Chagall
So much he attended an event through a squall
He specifically liked his depictions of cats
Which he held to the highest review such that's
He gave each one 5 out of 5 étoiles

Lol! I never knew that Chagall loved and painted cats but this is the result of my research:
https://www.thegreatcat.org/the-cat-...ussian-french/
A not so anonymous cat depicted by Chagall
Some humans cultivate strange habits.
Daddy pawed some colors and lo,
this smudge looks a bit like what?
Oh, I see, a cat!
Is that me?
I have to confess though
that I am much more beautiful,
than this rather hazy creature.
Definitively the better painter is Nature.
But Daddy captured well
my affectionate look.
It will shine through ages.

re: Thanks. Did you see Chagall´s cat paintings on the botton of it?

Yes, my favorite of the group would have to be Le Počte of course

from my contribution for the "Thursdays at Two" poetry group that was cancelled due to snow today:
Belling the Poet / an Acrostic assignment
"Why should poetry have to make sense?" - Charlie Chaplin
A poet both lives and observes life. Writing
Needs a passion of many disciplines, a
Time alone... silence, like an unread book
In its conception the process consists of
Tinkering and musing - even stealing poetry
Ideas... choosing language. Optionally, form is
Nuanced when cleverly utilized; forms like
Triversen lend a framework for dropping
Idioms and onomatopoeic spices upon a
Neutral landscape - like adding a single rose
Nigh an otherwise stagnant still life - each petal
An aromatic memory taking shape deep down
Below one's conscious thought evoking the
Undeniable truths of fundamental being - Grand
Lays speak of romance and lend to song - Canyon
And river, sky and sea, mythical, magical, and
Real or unseen - these are the worlds waiting
Inside each poet to spill upon the page for
Agonizing hours for poverty's laurel; even the
Nebulist poet will produce a distant echo

Acrostic: Antitintinnabularian: one opposed to bell ringing.

Charming ars poetica!
It was kind of you furnishing the solution of the acrostic for I got absolutely stuck. Next time I need a difficult word it will be Antitintinnabularian.

oblivious / a true story
tiny translucent orbs
show only on camera
afloat yet appearing
under control in a home
where a dog sleeps -
oblivious

An Anonymous Man Named Timon Bey
There once was a man from Istanbul
Who said, "See how life is so minuscule!"
He expounded at length
With all of his strength
His logic so Venn, and so Boole

There was once an anonymous man
He was so so anonymous,
that even he didn't know his name.
But he had a golden pen.

Poor enchained ghost. Didn´t locate the anagram though.
The ice (cream) mice
There once where some little mice
who loved ice(cream)
One didn´t have to ask them twice
If they wanted ice (cream).
But every vice (snif!)
Has it´s price.
The little mice
Rejected their rice
They only wanted ice (cream)!
So when they died
They turned into ice.
For this silly poem
I apologize!
