Visiting Tim Burton

What do you do on a lazy Sunday afternoon after brunch when all you want to do is take a nap? You visit a museum. Well, maybe not every Sunday, napping is important after all. But on a particular Sunday afternoon the boyfriend and I found our selves in this predicament and decided to check out the Tim Burton Exhibit at LACMA that he had been wanting to see. So...

They arrived at LACMA right around four

and walk toward the entrance door.

 paid the fee and noticed:

the stunning Urban Light display was full

of families, couples and of foreign tourists.

All taking photos, pretending to know

how their fancy cameras 

would make their photos glow!

Walking into the mouth of the exhibit 

their excitement was baited.

little did they know the experience that awaited,

from humorous to sinister all the way to the exit.

They saw and they read and they listened,

how one boy's creative mind

grew characters one day would spell-bind!

The drawing of Edward and others, 

just full-on amazing originality.

They especially liked the short of Vincent Malloy

and the poem of a  Robot Boy made of aluminum alloy.

A romantic at hear her favorite yet

was the quirky drawing of Romeo and Juliet.
 Cupid's True Colors is what he suggested.
His romantic gene is clearly twisted.

 This one couples sojourn
was to avoid a lazy concern
Tired but happy, they finished their visit
their new found fascination
on their face showed quite explicit!

To the museum they vowed to return 
and experience new exhibits
to expand and to learn!

Well I'm no poet or Tim Burton but writing that little poem was really fun! Oh and while I poke fun a the boyfriend's "romantic skills" he did buy me the poster of Romeo & Juliet so really he scored points galore that day and that Cupids True Colors drawing is hilarious! And he took some pretty pictures of me...
