The happy birds
on Maud Lewis’ windowsill
were not there till she painted them there

Thanks to the pen we get to hear
music behind Beethoven’s shuttered ear

Smile to hear shut-in to describe
Emily Dickinson’s muse and scribe

Perhaps in your house too
dreams and beauty beyond our view

Maudie

How big you can be
in a body that tiny
in a house that small
