Poppy Pizzicato
Poppies
Curvaceous long legs
Popping up from their beds
With ruffled petticoats flouncing
Such perky orange heads!
They do the Pizzicato Polka
It’s the right dance for them
As they twirl and spin around
On those curvy long stems!

Beautiful painting, Bertie. And, the poem sure fits the painting, or is it vice versa?
Your delicate painting and poem reminded me of an art project I did with my students. I projected on a screen, read and then briefly discussed Haiku poetry-how a picture emerges with so few words. I then presented each of my 4th grade classes with a different Haiku poem. Each student painted what image they saw in the poem.
What a great artistic exercise! I have to do it the other way, though, first a painting followed by poetry.
Glorious dancing poppies, I love it!
