Gentleman at leisure?

Awareness, inspiration, Motivational, Poetry, prompts, Sadje's View
“Portrait of Halvor John Schou” also painted in 1911: by Thorvald Hellesen (1888 – 1937).

Here’s what to do:

Write a poem using ONE of the portraits above painted by Thorvald Hellesen, as your inspiration. There is no required form for the poem. Be sure to give credit to Hellesen by listing his name, the name of the portrait chosen and date it was painted.

➰➰➰

A gentleman sitting at leisure

Expressions pensive, reflective

Perhaps thorny problems irking

Or trouble with home and love life

A person may appear at ease, relaxed

But there may be storms raging inside

Judging a book by its cover, we may fall short

Look into his heart or mind, we cannot

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.
