Living poetry.
I found another massive old scrapbook at the brocante. It has over two hundred images of famous paintings most of the images come from a 1900s French magazine that use to show artwork on richly colored quality paper. It was popular back then to cut the images out and frame them, or put into a scrapbook. The scrapbook I found has a collection of romantic images.
Feel free to copy these, print them out or use them as your screen saver. I plan on selling the large scrapbook on my online brocante shop one of these days...
Until then here are a few old images of romantic paintings to enjoy, with some bits of poetry that you sent me.
Roses are red…
The photos I took of these images are not full scale, not the full image.
I have taken some of your lines of poetry from yesterday's blog post and added them here.

said:
Roses are red Violets are blue I like snogging How about you?
"What is snogging?" Somehow I think this woman in the photo knows….
To kiss and cuddle amorously.
"The pair were snogging on the sofa."
Thank you Urban Dictionary.

Martini, martini,
The drink I like most.
Two I'm under the table,
Three I'm under the host.
I can't lay claim to this it's a Dorothy Parker quote.
Not what you're looking for but it rhymes.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
their scent reminds me of the pleasure of meeting you.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
When you have a cold
You sneeze "Ah-choo!"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
When you have a cold
I say "Bless You!"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
When you have a cold
I ask "What can I do?"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
When your cold is gone
You bid it "Adieu!"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I won't read a blog
Unless it's written by you!!??
