Notes About The Poem

https://www.thegreatestpoet.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Le-chat-aux-poissons-rouges-Henri-Matisse.jpg

Art - Henri Matisse

Look you for Matisse's Daughter?
-------------------------------------

The cat glides paw in the water.
It is glaring at three goldfish.
Jolly tulips are on left side.
The bowl with fish is on a dish.

Gawp at colors so bright in frame...
The cat glides paw in the water.
I guess the fish have fear inside!
                (No sign of Matisse's daughter.)

The wallpaper has hearts on it -
Look garish in Fauvist color.
The cat glides paw in the water.
Nothing here to mark as duller.

This cat goes yellow, mark it well...
Never like the one of daughter.
The three fish look up to the cat.
The cat glides paw in the water.


------------------------------------------------------------

The painting describes "Le Chat aux Poissons Rouges",
translated correctly as goldfish, not red fish.
