IMPROVISATION# 209
 MAURICE DENIS'S  ERA

Always on your knee
art was in your mode
  spanning
     in a departing "Wave"
or in a country "Landscape
    with Green Trees"
or your lovely ode
    "Homage to Cezanne"
Maurice Denise
 in your sorry span era
though politically
    reactionary with Vichy
 or religiously
    at the "Road to Calvary."
