"Interior" (date unknown) by Georgette Agutte [1867-1922].
opposites attract
maybe not so much attract
as complement
each in our own sphere
our circles intersect--
in that spot we find peace

A cherita is a haiku-like poem of three stanzas that tells a "story." The first stanza is one line and sets the scene. Stanza two is two lines, stanza three is three lines. A cherita terbalik is a cherita with the order of the stanzas rearranged.
Lovely, and the detail is quite wonderful. together, peace.
ReplyDeleteAnother new-to-me artist. I love paintings of interiors. Thanks for the backstory about Sembat and Agutte. Such a beautiful room where they are alone yet together . . .
ReplyDeleteThe colors and detail are captivating. I love all his books and the plants near her. And your poem gets at an essential part of life: it it not easy to be like your significant other and relationships, each person meeds their pwn palette! Janet Clare F.
