Painting and Poem "Greener Glasses"

 “Greener Glasses” Oil on canvas 6x6"

Sucking on thin cool slices of lemon 

or lime from glasses of iced tea, looking

for a crack in the face of late

September heat, the cooler days of fall

and winter brewing winds, the aroma

of steamy espresso served in dainty

white ceramic cups with matching saucers

sipped on frosty blue mornings, warming

hands while longing for summer

to chase away the chill, slices

of measured time that will again

require another lime.

–Nancy Parsons

I thought I'd try a slightly different approach to my little paintings by also writing a poem about the subject matter of the painting. This is my first attempt at ekphrasis art. I am hoping to include a poem for each painting from now on so the viewer can have a little insight into my inspiration and thoughts about the piece. Hope you enjoy it.
