July Flying Carpet 2015

Once in a Blue Moon
in mid June
The FC
waved
ciao to Italy
and bonjour to France




Montmirail felt like home
as the Carpet
rippled
over the welcoming countryside
and
landed 
at Maison Conti
maisonconti.com


ascended
hushed streets at dawn


gazed
at the sunrise reflecting windows


a garden shining in dew


returned
past the church...
its tintinnabulation silenced
until the town wakes at 7:00


presented
The Artist as Traveler workshop


made
a pilgrimage
to Chartres


beheld
its spires bristling with gee gaws 
and gargoyles


shimmered
in luminescence


and then...
marvelled
at the genius of Raymond Isadore
the inventor of La Maison Picassiette in Chartres
"The House of a million pieces”


Special Thanks to
Nancy, Rick, Ruby, Sydney,
