at The Athenaeum
arrays of Caribbean color
tropical green
cerulean blue
juicy melon
sunset red
bringing the tropics north
animating color
with cartoon characters
Peter Pan Pooh and Pinocchio
opening life’s venetian blinds
to show spaces
kitchens and stairs
carpets coloring rooms red
old building blocks
made of print
ghostly white
burnt and aged
and out of date
mixed media
brought here
in brilliant color
from GA Gardner’s
Caribbean home
