Still Life

for Benard Meninsky

dark fruit

hard and autumnal

beyond grey

be empty

to perfection

devoted to silence

in all things at home

I like your symbolism with the fruit. Very clever and original- it's hard to incorporate symbolism in literary works. Beautiful tribute too.

[Tina Kline]

A really impressive poem and a fantastic tribute.

A great tribute Mr. Philibert for this wonderful artist of Ukrainian English Heritage who painted gracefully objects and landscapes as you paint with your wondrous words. Still life became larger than life...:)....................

Thanks for the review. I am lucky enough to have a small watercolur from Meninsky, my Aunt who was a headteacher in London, knew him, and passed on the picture to me.

[Sami Khalil]

Wonderful. A treasure indeed. You are welcome.
