Painting #2 - Allies Day, May 1917
Allies Day, May 1917 Childe Hassam
Can you name the flags
That are waving in the street
May 1917?
Painting #1 - Attack on a Galleon
An Attack on a Galleon by Howard Pyle 1905
Pirates in boats swarm
The fleeing golden galleon
to steal stolen gold.
Three Lines and a Painting
It all begins with an idea.
Welcome to Three Lines and a Painting
Each post is a painting and a small poem.
The form of the poem is inspired by the Japanese form of poetry known as a haiku. The syllables of each line follow a specific form 5,7,5. Sometimes I make mistakes. Let me know if they don’t follow that form. Sometimes I take liberties with how the word is said.
The paintings have also been choosen by where you can see them. They are all located in museums in the US and most along the I-95 corridor from Washington DC to Boston MA.
