I suppose
Even I’m surprised at times
At what and who I see

Go as near or far in France
As you may choose
You will never find such poppies
In a field

Nor a woman
As eternally feminine
However dressed in white
So perfect in the light of day

There are no unpleasant smells
Along my shores
No too cold or sickly heat
Words abused or hopes betrayed

This old brain has finally learned
These eyes still full of youngster dreams
Will play their tricks ignoring facts
No matter how stark they are

With brush and paints tones and tints
On any empty space that couldn’t care less

For what I say
Or do
Or make of it—

Or her

John, you've captured Monsiuer Monet beautifully within these words.
I enjoyed the way you brushed the scene into a personal poetic portait. Indeed, a blank canvas cares not what we think.
Or does it?

Art is, as you, a consumate artist show us so well, the finding of what is possible and showing it True, even if never true.

...as you've done here.
