Robert Creeley

Matisse Flowers and Vase

Artful, in age he could tie his hand to a stick
And paint with it,
Make an image like this one.
Nothing seemed missed.

Here -- look in to look out,
See what all that was about,
Find color's counterpoint,
Line holding the whole inside.

Let your eye wander,
Your thought meander.
Feeling saunter.
Mind maunder.
