Poet's Corner

NOTICING

(a ghazal)
(c) by Claire J. Baker

Sparrows cling to telephone wire,
all face the rising sun.
Woman with cane crosses street
to sounds of chirping birds.
Brown cross atop village steeple
gleams silver against bright cloud.
Woman, now across the street,
canes a plastic bag into gutter,
a breeze puffs it open,
bag lifts, settles back into gutter.
The neighbor's blue car
appears green at dusk.

Commentary:
Poet Mary Oliver urges "pay attention".  Noticing what is around us produces images which, in turn, lead to delight of possibilities.

Note:
"Ghazal" is an Asian poetry form, always couplets relatively related in contaent but not strickl telling a story.

The Pinole Artisans celebrate our art not only through the Pinole Art Gallery, but also in many other venues. Right now we are doing a "satellite show" SUMMER MADNESS, at Pinole Vista; later this summer we will be doing "Art in the Park" at Fernandez Park.  In the past we have done other shows at various places.

On top of that the Artisans have connections with other art groups such as Pt. Costa, Pt. Richmond, Martinez, El Sobrante and Benicia, to name a few. How fortunate we Artisans are to live in such a vibrant and diverse area of art which we can connect to and exchange ideas.  Surprisingly each art group seems to have its own personality.   What a joy it is to be an active member in the Pinole Artisans group!

For our July 1 Pinole Artisans'  meeting, the program will be presented by Pinole Artisans' member Carolyn Hess who is an extraordinary water color artist, and will doing a demo for us.  She will also show and talk about her work and experiences.
