My final 'poem', #30 of 30, for the 2018 NaPoWriMo -- Yay!!!
A Day spent for Henry Lautrec;
by product a Cézanne original find; and
a true poem about the author's travels
a true poem about the author's travels
I museum for the classics
Favorites touristing are three
Paul Cézanne and Vincent VanGogh
and then short lifed* Henri Lautrec
We automobiled up from Caunes-
Minervois France to Albi on
the River Tarn. Breakfasted on
the way at a Farmers Market
Albi cherubs Henri Lautrec
His birthplace city pretty town
it panhandles for your visit
Signed "no photography" almost
Cameraed this beauty amongst
the Lautrecs before I stop-signed
a beauty typical Cézanne

- I'm linked with brudberg at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads; http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2018/04/thirty-poems-in-april-final-in-verbs.html
- We were instructed to make verbs from existing nouns. My verbs are printed in RED. I think none of my verbs here are in the dictionary as verbs but they may be. It was hard and some of mine are removed somewhat from the real verb that I wanted to use.
- I'm also linked with the National Poem Write a Month for my NaPoWriMo, Day 30 Poem at http://www.napowrimo.net/day-thirty-4/ . Here we were to discus a little of an artist or work of art or other that is little known. The Henri Toulouse-Lautrec Museum at Albi does not promote the work of Paul Cézanne, I just happened on this original walking around.
- *Note: Henri died at age 37: (link)
Born: 24 November, 1864 - Albi, France
Died: 9 September, 1901 - Paris, France
I have a print of his cousin and friend, Louis Pascal, framed for my study.
- We've stayed at different times in each of these artist's towns or very close nearby:

I love Lautrec! (And appreciate but cannot love Cezanne.) Thank you for verbing your travels and enriching my day.
ReplyDeleteI also wandered over to your travel blog and enjoyed the excursion around Albi. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully verbed out Dr Jim. When done properly it is a good way of presentation to make it more impressive
