Arty stuff No 8
An artist called Johannes Vermeer,
Was quietly drinking a beer,
A girl with an earring
Said something endearing,
So he smiled and thought "That's an idea!"

Vermeer would have loved this corner to paint
It has the Dutch colors, sliver of sunshine ambiance
I took out my brushes and paints, and began to mix
So many diverse turquoises, could I capture them?
I resolved to try

NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT
So little evidence remains
Of Vermeer's ups+downs+pains-
Happily,his art,his epitaph
reveals all,to the attentive viewer
amateur or connoisseur !

VERMEER’S GIRLS
Girl with a jug or necklaced
with pearls,lute and guitar
over the centuries seen from
afar.In intricate detail,a patient
design, of portraits in time.
These looks of love into
eternity’s mirror.Their beauty
his art with a delicate touch,now
frozen in time.Which muse shall
we choose,and which to lose.

List
Give me a cozy armchair and my pajamas said Gee
He liked sitting on the savannah, pretending he had a TV
Why not get one? Asked the meercats, who wanted to watch.
Gee decided to turn his dream up a notch.
Maybe I’ll get a studio, with paints and such.
I could become a famous painter like Vermeer, a Dutch.
Or a space capsule, he said. I could be an astronaut.
The meercats sighed; but the TV was never bought.

Vermeer sketches...he ...remembers moments of interplay vivant intimate intricate details begin the beguine & joys outflow perfection aglow enigmatic close-ups in looks of love into eternity's eyes such innocence displayed in delicate faces to tantalise lost in thought portraits in time yesterdays
preserved in paint a museum of memories in enigmas unsolved looks to read conjecture preserves the sereness between muses and our eyes
& a mirror sublime
