The Libyan Sibyl

There on the ceiling of the Vatican
Look up and see in Michelangelo's Plan,
Depicted a movement so exquisite of form
Standing out among the lustratlove sworn
Oh Libyan Sibyl of her I speak
Of Gesture; strong, inspiring and unique
Of the lifting and turning of her lovely back
See great beauty in this pose revealed
A jewel-far above-in a genius field.

Patience Monumental

Patience has its own romance
When one assumes a model's stance
How still one can be for ages,
Think of the model's job in all its stages
Patience if used in a "frozen" pose
Is a virtue as easy as a doze
The artist appreciates and applauds
The model with the equanimity of the Gods.
(But for eye's blink or a breath there's some room)
Though a calm nonchalance one should assume.
The patience allied with art is an easy thing!
When Thespia had to read the many members vows.
Along with patience it did the voice arouse!

PARIS

As we are sitting in our tour bus,
There's a young man sitting in front of US
His companies and all else he recalled,
With remembrances of his first
trip (Parisian Tales)
We listen as if to a travel guide
Thrilled, enthused continued on our ride
To the Eiffel Tower over the Seine to the place we stayed
Back and forth each day a trip
to the Louvre we made
We would cross over the Seine
from the left bank
Proving us art lovers at the first rank
When I think of Paris; it's
Pictures painted, pictures
to be signed,
And the tour bus comes
to mind.
