Why She Sits and Stares

Deep in thought At the table she sits A cup in her hand Her silence emits She sits and stares Into the coffee cup Should there be someone with her Or did he stand her up This picture by Hopper The Automat He's captured quite a scene I can grant him that Will we ever know Why she was staring, sinking How long was she there In her continuing thinking My entry into Brian's " IMAGINE " contest and my poem is about the wonderful painting called " Automat " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/art.php

Hi again James: Luv your contest entry for Automat.. I also entered a poem for Summer Evening contest .. good luck to U on that... and the trucking poem cames to me..as an old boyfriend of mine drove a "big rig" and I rode shotgun with him for 3 years... talk about an adventure... it was more than fun... and seeing the U.S.A. was great ...

James, I envy you - you have such talent for writing. You should definitely consider writing a book! You words are extremely descriptive and having never seen the picture - I can see it through your words. Great job! Luv, Kelly

Great take on the image in this painting, James. I doubt we shall ever know what she was thinking, anymore than we shall know what cast that curious smile on Mona Lisa's face. Very intriguing painting and an excellent interpretation! Love to the Highlander! Carolyn
