paintings with poems

A good friend who is familiar with my poetry, suggested I include a poem with my artwork. So come 2019 I began putting to paper, my thoughts of each painting which I now share with you.

VENICE CITY OF LOVE

Venice, with its colors of yellow and gold,

And its setting sun, with hues of red and orange,

Its waters shimmering with tones of green and blue

Makes for memories forever to behold.

Wherever you go is a perfect picture,

With its colorful masks enticing from wherever they hang,

While its Murano glass a must for every collector.

And every glass you toast, a superb tincture.

The steps and the bridges challenge your health

Its people and food, its way of life, its colorful doors rock.

Come with hunger and anticipation and adventure

And what you will find, cannot be measured by wealth.

So we will place in a heart a promise as we sail away

To come back someday with the intention to stay.
