upon seeing Matisse



















just the suggestion
of woman
of water
I
re
read
re
call
my eyes
her feet
bright and
wet and
washing
ourselves
of where
of
where
we've been
  
this poem humbly offered up for OpenLinkNight at dVerse poets.

  1. Love the title you've chosen...the words take on a different spin when one regards the painting in correlation...lends a colorful bit of play to a work that has my mind picking up shadows...wonderful weave!

  5. This seductive painting, a frozen moment of emotional intimacy, a mirror to private fantasy and fulfilled desire is a reclaimed as the memory we see again.

  6. Subtle dabbing/ that flow about/ stooped on; perhaps a stone/ figure of woman/ head bent/ I hear babble of brook/ to Matisse’s delight.
