Ekphrastic April, Day 19: "Chez Moi"

 


"Chez Moi" (1887) by Harriet Backer [1845-1932].

 

my room full of sunlight

when I, too, am sunny
I close the door to play

and sing a dance hall ditty
before settling down to
more interminable practice

  1. Lovely imagination for those "secret lives" lived. It's nice to give a thought to those women so long ago. Have a nice week, Diane!
