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

Artist Joan Miró was born 20th April 1893,  in Barcelona.

I viewed some of his painting at 'The Tate Gallery' while on vacation in London in  1979

a fascination 
of  lines and dots intriguing-
viewing Joan Miró

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

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.
