A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry

1. Impressionism

Roses sway in softened reds,
Violets swim in murky blues,
Sugar sparkles in the light,
Blurring into golden you.

2. Surrealism

Roses are melting,
Violets are too.
Ceci n’est pas le sucre.
Keith is a giant crab

3. Social Realism

Roses are dead,
Violence is rife.
Don’t sugar coat
This bitter life.

4. Abstract Expressionism

Are and.
Violets roses so.
You sweet blue.
Are are red is sugar

5. Pop Art

Roses go BLAM!
Violets go POW!
Sugar is COOL!
You are so WOW!

6. Conceptual Art

Roses are red,
Coated in blood:
A deer’s severed head
Drips from above

7. Pointillism

Roses have black spot,
You’re spotty, too.
Sugar is granulated.
I’m dotty for you

8. Minimalism
