A place to share Haikus -- yes, Haikus -- about our hobby 0

[exitmusicblue]

Borrowing this idea from a fellow member of my fave OA-related group chat.  Share haikus about our beloved hobby.  Having received my colleague's permission, here's his gem to start us off.  Remember, it's 5-7-5 syllables:

 

Haikus are quite fun

But sometimes they don't make sense

Like Coollines prices

I stare at a wall

Life as we know it, no more

Black Costume Spidey

Bargains are long gone

Record prices why oh why?

Wallet empty cry.

Yes prices go up

why do I stare at my art

not for sale ever

[exitmusicblue]

Tell your dear spouse that

Her or art, expendable?

Is a tough tough choice

Vodou where are you?

Hoarding X-Men art to sell

Twenty thirty-two?

Inks over bluelines

No collector wants to buy

Pick up your pencil

Stamps?

I turn the screen on

Hmm, what is the bid at now…

I turn the screen off

[Timely]

Dealer's gonna deal?

 

While collector's come and go.

Flipper's gonna flip!

Have to find more cash --

No one wants my time payments.

Cryptocurrency?

Prices exploded

Market Makers bought it all

This ain't a hobby

I don’t know if you know this

But dolphins ain’t fish

Your art is doozy

Our prices make you woozy

Our show's different

 

Your art is claimy

After we touch, art clammy

Totally not same

Like big art you do

And you say you cannot lie

We just like big art

Old Flash art is great

But I have to grow up now

Need to spend wisely

[RBerman]

Early eighties stuff

Already down the black hole

Meet modern artists

 

Shelving Itoyas

Who has a bookshelf that tall?

Put them in sideways

[Latverian Tourism Board]

Maybe all our bids

Should take a martial art form?

Go protect yourself 

[Rick2you2]

Tape, cardboard and knife,

Slicing tape, peeling cardboard, 

New art, free at last!
