A BLUE HAIKU
This haiku was inspired by the color “Baby Blue”. This color often mistaken for the color turquoise, has been used to distinguish between having a boy or girl at birth (i.e., the boy wears baby blue and the girls wear a pastel pink). It has also been the symbol of distinguishing ancient and old families as “Aristocrats” and not just “High Society”, “Old Money”, "swinger" and/ or “common”.

A POET AS AN ART DISSIDENT AND COLLECTOR
AUTHOR: Umar Abubakar Sidi Publisher: Masobe (2022) Number of Pages: 96 Curation is one of the crucial skills of a collector, so, it’s no wonder that Like Butterflies Scattered About by Art Rascals opened with a poem of gathering. A Gathering of Spirits, of dreams and hallucinations — a ritual of logic and magic on the canvas of mind, initiation into a world of surrealism and abstraction. It’s like a documentary of artworks in poetry form.
