Did They Butterfly Pin The Stars

Rating: 5.0


did they butterfly pin the stars to their night skies
the fashionable artists
oh we hope this isn't so but how will we know

if someone saw the paintings move in their appointed frames.
just once I did looking at Monet across the room
mother of pearl cathedral against the white gloss walls

gathering lustre still.
this is art the way you feel it to be
as if you were gazing through a startling window

or into an Easter Egg panorama
and it is sugar sweet to you
the night you thought had fled

remains
if not, the green things whispered
supremely on the flower filled winds

by some solitary in an early april.

last four lines superb. I love impressionism too, catching that fleeting moment. You see things like a true artist.
