Monet's Field of Poppies

woman and child forever wade
through Monet’s green/gray brushstrokes
merging with the artist eye
in all of us

the boy holding poppies picked
pale red profusion
angling
down
hilly
canvas
ribbon on hat the same red
the boy a poppy
one        with       nature

mother with umbrella casually
stylishly perched on shoulder
more blue than the sky
delicately gliding through
this place of passion
keeping her cool

another woman and child
on the top of hill
blending trees’ darkness
and grey white clouds
drift                       from
edge                      to                            edge
of this particular view

and we wonder
who are these summer folk
so full of poppy breath?
