The Think Tank Thursday #100 Eccentric

I wanted to do something unique and special for our one hundredth prompt.  Wow, 100... Can you believe it?!  I am not sure why this man came to mind, but he did.  He is an artist, animator, a poet, a director and more...  I think the word eccentric describes him best.  I would like you to pen a poem based on his work. You can use his art, one of his poems and let's not forget his movies. He has two  movie  releases, this year.  Yes, we are going to go down the road of fantasy, tossed in sometimes with a bit of horror and a pinch of goth.   I think of his work being like fractured fairy tales. You can blur the lines, anyway you like.  If his work does not speak to you, then write about someone eccentric you know.  I hope though you will give him a chance.  Look here to see a list of his movies.  Yes, I am taking about the one and only Tim Burton!

"One person's crazyness is another person's reality."~ Tim Burton

"I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clear cut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words." ~Tim Burton

"Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me."~Tim Burton
