Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Visit To the Met

With temps and the humidity
No longer off the chart,
We made a visit to the Met*
Since we’ve been starved for art.

A Winslow Homer show would soon
Be packing up and so,
It seemed to be the perfect time
For us to up and go.

The hordes had not arrived yet,
Thus the galleries allowed
Us time for a relaxing look
Without a pushy crowd.

Before we left, we stopped to see
Our faves – Cezanne, Monet,
Van Gogh and several others,
Making it a lovely day.

Although the Covid variant
Is here and on the move,
It’s time for us, museum-wide,
To get back in the groove.

*Metropolitan Museum of Art

Mike Bayles July 26, 2022 at 3:47 PM I enjoyed your rhyme, Ilene, and your poem stirred a desire with me to visit an art gallery. Always a good time.

L Milton Hankins July 26, 2022 at 12:38 PM Gosh, I wish I lived close to a museum like that. We have a nice Huntington Museum, but nothing remotely like the grandeur and the collection of the Met. Thanks for sharing this with us, Ilene.
