A Visit To Moma

The puppets from “Pinocchio” Were beautifully displayed; Picassos, Cezannes and Van Goghs Were artfully arrayed. The photographs and furniture Were waiting to be seen By locals, tourists, school groups And all people in between. At MOMA* there is so much art – Kandinsky, Rothko, Klee – Just one thing has been missing, ‘Til today, and that was me! *Museum of Modern Art

Oh gosh, I miss the city so much. I used to live 40 minutes away. I went to MOMA to see the Degas exhibit once. I love French Impressionism. It was so exciting and just breathtaking. My cell phone screen saver is of one of the ballerinas I was allowed to photograph. You must be artistic to love MOMA so much. Again, I am so glad to find another of your poems bringing back a wonderful memory for me.

Was there but once and that was years ago, Ilene. Saw my first van Gogh there and a few of his selected letters. Living in a city has its advantages, but I'll still take the quiet countryside any day. / Maurice

Delightful, Ilene. What a wonderful way to spend a day...or several...in NYC. I haven't been to this one, but I have been to the Louvre in Paris, and to the Smithsonian in D.C.
