Cereal (Seriously)

- A TRIBUTE TO NATIONAL CEREAL DAY -
ABOVE:  a vintage Sesame Street riff of Madonna's 1984 hit "Material Girl"
BELOW:  frenzied collage art by me, using 1940s baking advertisements, my own prints of Lucky Charms cereal and a 30-year-old "My Little Pony" softcover picture book, glazed with Mod Podge
"My Little Scone-ies (and other magically delicious breakfast delights)"
12 in. x 19 in. paper assemblage art on painted canvas with poetry on back & rainbow wash tape along sides, assembled during Eating Awareness Week (February 26-March 4, 2018) and dedicated to Walden Behavioral Care

Cereal box as morning trough
into which plump knuckles sink
Foraging the marshmallow stuff
that stains a bowl's white milk pink

Confections fill our bellies bloated
rainbow grins are sugarcoated
A General Mills & Hasbrow ploy
is couple hunger with a toy
