Author's Notes: This poem presents a new walk into the world of imagism with a particular object that represents and symbolizes a defined degree of artistic beauty and metaphorical grandeur. I will have a second view of this same theme that I shall post very soon that was done in direct collaboration with my wife. (Gary Bateman - September 30, 2018) (Imagism)

An Old Copper Vase – A First View
a rustic object
with
a worn-weathered look
symbolizing
both
an artistic beauty
and
a metaphorical grandeur
when filled
with a few
red or yellow roses
it resonates
a certain emotion
and
it presents
and
it paints
an indelible
image and memory
that
cannot be forgotten
this is made
all the more
compelling
by
its rough-rustic nature
and
its physical view
from afar
which is
at once—
defining and dominating
and is
captivating and absolute.
