The Picture in the gallery
the painting no-one else
ever seems to look at;
That street scene from another century,
with its muted colours of a
long lost summer afternoon;
the carriages,the hats,the uniforms,
street urchins,shopkeepers and
at the railway station entrance
a newspaper vendor and stood next to him
reading the headline,” Archduke Ferdinand assassinated!”
a man without a face.
A very enjoyable poem, that painted the picture for me
Vivid Portrayal
Evocative.Painterly.A poetic reconstruction !
