I've been reading a coffee table book on Piet Mondrian, and even though I've long suspected it, it's solidified "Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow" as my favorite painting of all time.

A few years ago, I wrote this *incredibly* stupid poem during springtime. I posted in another space recently and was amazed to find people actually enjoyed it so, here:

#poem #poetry #blueskyartshow #writing #stupid #alttext #blueskymonday #spring

a poem titled Ode To A Hot Dog: When vernal winds blow
O'er dusty rows and snow's withered drifts
When Boreas at last hath rest
Let us go
To see thine blossom on verdant grounds
And hear thine joy spring forth from dying mists
Like dawn's sweet song o' the meadow Lark
The siren call
To the hotdog cart

Since becoming vegetarian nearly 2 years ago, I've had more dreams about hot dogs than I care to admit.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social ❗️AIR BUD ALERT❗️ the 8/30 issue of the Economist profiles Texas Dem James Talarico, who says “Democrats in the Trump era … are like the coach in ‘Air Bud,’ ... who waves the rule book around saying that dogs can’t play basketball as the dog keeps dunking in front of him.”
