art gallery haiku set

palms on an island
inhabitated only by
small painted people

a dusky artist
painted my cup of Java
tropical realism

a dutchman painted
a tranquill, thorny desert
with strokes from Van Gogh

The city goddess
bustles like a fierce cell-phone
a graceful hornet

art and commerce meet
in the shining gallery
sage for money elves

the tree of living
has roots in the vast ocean
fish swimming ice-still
