Notes About The Poem

Berthe Morisot( Manet's ) sister-in- law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthe_Morisot_with_a_Bouquet_of_Violets

Impressions Thru the Glass Ceiling

old tracks
 to
      the water edge
  a
    thatched cottage
a river a harbour a boat

with
    woman&child
a beach a village a park

'neath lilac
         on the terrace
hanging out the
                      laundry

in a wheatfield
  on a 
          summer day

                               family
in a rose garden
on a beach
                 playing

orange trees
             nice young women
on a
       veranda
              
hollyhocks
     willows
         daffodils
            &daisies

& Myself

a red blouse
a red apron

     getting up getting out of bed
the bath
arranging hair
             before the mirror

autumn colours
    bois de bologne

daughter julie
       in conversation
picking cherries
          boating on the lake
at the window
    with
       the greyhound

p!aying violin

day dreaming

NOTE:created from a selection of 240 Berthe's titles whose paintings are a chrono  bio album
