Agapanthus, 1915
Claude Monet (1840-1926)
With their belly dancer sway
And purple heads summer-scented,
The lilies of the Nile get Monet
Swinging his brush with abandoned restraint.

Away from shadows human,
Into the family of the Sun,
With its encircling limbs…
Put kids up for adoption.

Recovery
The hour came of rediscovery… of the worth of the human form… after eighty million were by war torn. Bravely, like Felice… she contemplates the future and lets slip the bygone.

Le Battage Du Ble Au Village,1894
Henry Moret (1856-1913)

Shouldn’t be a gender contest
But he is brawny and tanned,
Upset by giggling… working harder than he can.

Child with Dove, 1901
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
Oft a dove,
To replenish its peace and love,
Clasps a child’s chest…
Then scatters the hoard from above.

Feeling fuzzy about peaches,
Summoned his creative juices
And against hard stone… heaped their softness.

Drag the board wooden
Colored soy-balsamic, drizzled with lemon…

The Gallic cock must bestow
On a nation laid low,
The emblematic calls of history
As folks… seeds of future sow.

Stirred leaves, big trees, clouds cirrus…
All are but wavelets
In a sea of light
Or Seine-watching sailboats.

Two Doves with Wings Spread, 1960
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
Two neighboring birds, oppositely colored,
Churning wings and air disturbed,
Reduce a world mutihued…
Into one of black and white falsehoods.

Les Pêcheuses, 1894
Henry-Moret (1856-1913)

Extending small nets into big sea,
They filled baskets, not boats,
And kept just one village… happy.

Under cloudy confetti
Strewn by impressionistic breeze,
A boat seems to reach
A journey pinnacled and storied.

Manhattan by the Hudson,
Was a byword for movement…
Barges, ships, tall buildings
All merged in a swirl… cumulonimbus.

Of which Monsieur Monet was overly fond,
He had learnt to convert dark waters
Into chocolaty, postprandial lily liqueur.

Seeing, touching, smelling
Every blade, wave, the skin and hair…
I, the divine brush, paint everywhere.

Muster all ingredients.
Three days have I ached…
To be from quackery saved.

Beauty with the fullness of rose,
In the corner where a soul
May go seeking repose…

Standing shoulder to shoulder,
Leaves, two fawning sunflowers,
A child and the gypsy mother…
Accept their lives’ customers.

To which change leads,
In traditions strong as the Japanese…
Need a compensatory face to please.

Held off picking until she
Spread her first flush aroma
On their leaves.

Of wearing the winning ribbon…
Of imbibing bubbly moments
From the flute of champagne noons.

As to be sculptural,
Wrapping the head in thick braids
And sitting on shoulders.

Three boats on a plated, imaginable sea,
Invite eyes to chart journeys
In artistic understanding.
