Viral Verse: Apropos, #2

By Michelle de Villiers

A selection of laissez-faire postparnassian poetry crafted at the crack of dawn. Inspiration comes from online dictionaries' freshly harvested words-of-the-day. A poem might in turn tickle the fancy of the painterly muse; often it merely laughs at its own expense. Covid-19 emerged from the shadows after February 2020, and insinuated itself into every aspect of life. The Island of Doctor Ironymisch Devilish surfaced - this oil painting will be the companion piece to the twelve chapbooks of the Apropos series.

Michelle de Villiers

I  scribble , dribble and doodle. I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children’s stories and illustrate them. I read a lot. When I’m not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC)  I once lived in a rainforest. Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine. I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking. I can wiggle my ears. I have two cats.
