Thomas Chippendale we often remember
as the most wonderful cabinet maker

Venus rises from the sea
her classic beauty, quite divine
captured by the painters eye
intriguing viewers over time
coquettish though her stately pose
suggests that though she may be shy
carefully placed pale arms and hands
and one arm resting carefully
leaves one milk white breast exposed
and flowing locks so modestly
preserving her virgin dignity

a beautiful song drifted down to me
I couldn’t see the melodic bird
but instantly knew what I had heard
not a skylark or even nightingale tweet
but a songthrush with its song so sweet.
