"The Red Kerchief," oil on canvas by Claude Monet c. 1868 Red kerchief she wore Into the frozen place Out the window Beyond the door Whole life just erased Over her shoulder Forced now to go In comes the war Red kerchief no surrender Smaller and smaller All that bright red Spilled on white snow

Fantastic symbolic image of the "red Kerchief, accompanied by a striking (and understated) poem. Love the final stanza, the richness of meaning in images.
