Poem Artwork

 "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

Seems to be a metaphor (perhaps) for the current Ukranian crisis. rlc

The symbolism is so striking Diana…
Perfectly illustrated by Monet’s painting…

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