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.

Hi Gary, a most imaginative write comes from your pen. Your descriptive power is always special, you take the reader to the heart of your words. The beauty in your words always shines through and the imagery is always strong. It is so easy to see what your wonderful words paint. Have a wonderful Saturday. Your friend always....Mike.

Gary, copper is a very special element. Like those higher than iron, it’s only made in connection with a supernova or some collision of neutron stars. You have something very special. It’s hard to imagine where all this began and where it is going.

Hello Duke, Many Thanks to you for your read here and for your most prescient comment and observation. I am very glad to hear this. This also points toward why my wife, Ingrid, and I actually did a second view of this theme (beyond this one), with a more extended imagism slant going beyond a precise descriptive view. Best Always, Gary
