Settled - Barbara Tapp |
Settled
two buildings
one in decay
the other a beautiful house
located in close proximity
each with a history
one more recent than the other
both inhabited
the building in decay
lives bats, spiders and other creatures
the beautiful house
people dwell
both places create a home
comfort from weather,
place to raise young,
have food,
realms of safety,
and most important thrive
both buildings life has settled
settled in
settled

The Benicia First Tuesday Poets’ Group and members of Benicia Literary Arts have written ekphrastic poems about paintings from our show, Watercolor - A Happy Medium.
Ekphrastic poems are vivid verbal descriptions of a work of art. Fifteen different poets each came to the aRt Cottage to pick one pieces from each of the 15 artists in the show.
