Simple Unoccupied Bench

The simple bench sits
Unoccupied now
Classic table holds
Intent to write poems
Correspondences

Light sweater blown
Onto yellow
Roses, walkway
Empty no one

Garden neat
Perfect plants
Fenced closed

Where is.......
Empty

Bench

("The Bench"(The Garden Of Versailles) Edouard Manet (1832-1883/French) Oil On Canvas)

Very nicely done. You paint so very well. I believe in the "forces of nature". I enjoy all and let a feeling of wellness come over me when I am able. I believe this is the result of evolved brain chemistry--but admit I could be wrong. I have sense that you are very kind.

From:(The Garden of Versailes) by Edouard Manet(l832-1883/French) Oil on Canvas. Great painting which brings questions to one's mind. Just a little info to help one understand. Sara
