SIT DOWN LIKE MATISSE


Sit down like Matisse
with coloured paper and scissors
and cut a red Eastern poppy -
papaver orientale!

Stare at goldfish in a bowl,
consider your life in art;
what it's done for your soul:
luxe, calme et volupte.

I have often stared at goldfish swimming in their aquariums or in a lkae of even in a backyard pool. Relaxing thing to see them in all sizes. Entertaining to the mind.
