Came up to me, he did.
Odd guy;
no shirt;
head in a cardboard box
with holes
for eyes and mouth.
Showed me a picture
he'd bought 'cos he thought
it was 'full of meaning'.
Well, talk about basic,
it really showed
what could be done
by using only four
basic colours:
black, white, red, and yellow.
A chaotic explosion
of smoke
and flaming debris.
Why did I
immediately think
of dead astronauts?

Though I may be odd, no doubt, I can find meaning n anything you give. Never the less, I had a good laugh with this short poem. The ending was unexpected, but still well thought of. Great job.

Terrific
A wonderful 'take' on the Chaos picture I loved the
reference to black, white, red and yellow, also
reminded me of some people in art galleries carrying
on about 'the meaning' of some art!!!!
