DEGAS DELIGHTFUL DAMES
Edgar Degas did not mingle
so shy he remained single
His art self contained & absorbed
perfect though expensive 'daubs'
Dancers everywhere
to pose on toes
& as art lover knows
PAINTING After wise words of Degas
so,so easy to do..
when we don't know how,
so,so true..but
so,so dificile..
when we do!
Dear, you are so lovely.
I just had to ask you, “Who did your hair?” Oh so lovely.
The sky is turning dark now, lovely.
The lamp on the table flickers low, oh just lovely.
I am watching the shadows stretch long across the floor, lovely.
The wind is blowing a gale now, that’s just lovely.
Ahh, your hand found mine in the dark, lovely.
Oh look at how bright the stars are shining in the dark sky, oh so lovely.
I don’t think I would change anything because it is lovely.
In red, she saunters
Through a field of red poppies:
What a lovely view!

Sunday fellowship
Henri Le Sidaner's 'Le Dimanche
so ' typique 'of a muted Symboliste branch
Dreamy, Sunday, atmospheric date
a tranquil imagination in quintuplicate
Le Dimanche (Sunday) by Henri Le Sidaner
usually set aside by faithful for prayer
Here in his imagination
lovely ladies of delightful a 'cinquation'
Edmond-François Aman-Jean
we're within his symbolist dream
Renewal & awakening it's said to mean
to me ..a beauty arrives on.the scene
Belgian Symbolist painter Fernand Khnopff
avant-garde art he love quite a lot
Pastel dream lady-like was his thing
in Memories' the tennis scene a novel swing
Radical engraver Charles Maurin
put the art world in quite a spin
Illustrator for journal Le Temps nouveau
from his brush intimate portraits were to flow
Mostly an oddball was Magritte
here however a portrait sweet
Usually & reputably so surreal
this 'cig girl' is so so real
Belgian Rene Magritte
whose paintings were so neat
Full of stilled enigmatic
in scenesso idiosyncratic
Rene Magritte so surrealiste
was also a moraliste
His art as a dream
never reveal what they dream
Renee Magritte,an enigma in a bowler hat
I wonder what we should make of that
perhaps they are his alter ego
he never said so we'll never know
so
banal
yet
deadpan
absurd
clashing
symbols
heard
in
the eye
where
imagery
is
all
Hodlers Horizontals
Hodler's five ladies in blue*
'a view into infinity' so true
A linked handed cinquain
their beauty in memory remain
The "ladies in blue" by Swiss Symbolist painter Ferdinand Hodler most famously refers to his monumental final masterpiece, 'View to Infinity'
Ferdinand Hodler had no self doubt
his topical art had much clout
He also loved the silhouette
narrative allegoryhus safe bet
Alphonse Mucha a Czech
his paintings easy to detect
So distinctive & stylized
even prints now valued &prized
As sung to the tune of
Help Me Make It Through the Night
The Original song was sung by Kris Kristofferson
Once gold was my long blond hair
But summer's changes turned to fall
Now there's wrinkles on my skin
Lines of memory of it all
Yet you're still here by my side
Love by day and through the night
Flyin' fast, our walk-through time
Hand in hand walk in the Light
And we're still singin' our song
Though baby, I don't understand
How yesterday's tomorrows,
On earthly plains, somehow must end
Many tomorrows are gone
That were once far outa' sight
With you, I've never been alone
Lovely days of golden light
Lord, I'm grateful for this life
Lord, I'm grateful, I'm his wife! <3
Happy 49th Anniversary Jerry, I love you!
A 49th Anniversary song (Sort of a parody!?) to my beloved husband Jerry, from his loving wife, Betty Jo.
As sung to the tune 'Help Me Make it Through the Night'
Original Songwriter: Kris Kristofferson.
Hear the breaking of a heart,
In love with us the very start,
To reconcile, never again to part,
Altogether Lovely.
Reaching through the realms of time,
Healing the sick, lame, deaf, and blind.
Freeing imprisoned, captured minds,
Altogether Lovely.
To even raise up from the dead,
those in tombs and from death beds.
Born to be slain, death for life in our stead,
Altogether Lovely
Hearing the plea of my Savior’s heart,
In love with me from the very start.
For a love beyond time, never to part,
Altogether Lovely.
For He is Love, such Love Divine,
His child, I am His, and He is mine,
As much is yours, as He is mine,
Altogether Lovely.

good night !
Mountain breezes blow
White sheet billows on blue sky
Gliding past the pines
Endless water lies ahead
Sail Lake Winnipesaukee
lovely lizard on a leash
merrily marches along
can you comprehend, capeesh?
if so, sing me the lovely lizard song.
