MATISSE MAIDENS
Maidens..so many.
Marguerite
dressed so neat
Laurette and
Lorette so sad, so sweet.
The upstairs maid with Greta Moll
his still life doll.
Odalisques
curves and shapes,
in colour and drapes.
Chapeaux and Chevelure
with locks astray.
A sister or two,and a wife,
green with envy,
to paint
and portray
