yellow butterfly 

passing  yellow ixoras

yesterday's  watching

of its freedom to pass by

not stopping for a visit

today  writing of 

that butterfly passing by

its yellow colour

observation clings

to the chance of being here

not somewhere else

where no flowers are blooming

no yellow butterflies fly

coincidence lurks

In the yellow sameness of

sunshine and flowers

Anything goes

 Joan Mirós  painting 'The Birth of The World' from google

to Miró The Birth of the World reflects a blend of spontaneity and deliberation 

Joan Miró said that The Birth of the World depicts “a sort of genesis” the amorphous beginnings of life. To make this work, Miró poured, brushed, and flung paint on an unevenly primed canvas so that the paint soaked in some areas and rested on top in others. Atop this relatively uncontrolled application of paint, he added lines and shapes he had previously planned in studies. The bird or kite, shooting star, balloon, and figure with white head may all seem somehow familiar, yet their association is illogical. Describing his method, Miró said, “Rather than setting out to paint something I began painting and as I paint the picture begins to assert itself, or suggest itself under my brush.… The first stage is free, unconscious. But, he continued, “The second stage is carefully calculated...”
